To provide a substrate for a magnetic disk, a magnetic disk, an annular-shaped substrate, and a manufacturing method for a substrate for a magnetic disk, to make it difficult for the annular-shaped substrate from a holding member that holds the annular-shaped substrate when double-sided
grinding or
polishing is performed on the annular-shaped substrate.SOLUTION: A glass substrate for a magnetic disk (magnetic disk substrate) 1 includes a pair of main surface 1p and outer
peripheral end surface 5, the outer
peripheral end surface has a pair of chamfered surfaces 1c, each of which is connected to the main surface, and a side wall surface 1t extending between the pair of chamfered surfaces and curved outwardly so as to be convex, and the side wall surface 1t has a
radius of curvature Rt of 1100 μm or more in a cross-section along the plate thickness T direction of the magnetic disk substrate. To prevent the generation of fine particles, it is preferable that the outer
peripheral end surface of the magnetic disk substrate is smoothed. In addition, it is preferable to align the outer peripheral end surface to a target shape.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
