The invention discloses grinding equipment and a grinding method. The grinding equipment and the grinding method aim at solving the problems that at present, manpower is mainly adopted to grind a pot billet, consequently, operation efficiency is low, the requirement of an existing grinding device for the position of the pot billet is low, and certain limitation exists. The grinding equipment comprises a grinding mechanism and a control system; and the grinding mechanism comprises a grinding support, a first supporting rod, a second supporting rod, a first telescopic arm, a second telescopic arm, a third supporting rod, a grinding wheel and a grinding wheel driving device. One end of the first supporting rod is movably connected with the grinding support, and the first supporting rod can rotate relative to the grinding support; and the other end of the first supporting rod is movably connected with the second supporting rod. According to the grinding equipment, the automatic grinding requirement for workpieces with different sizes can be met, the extremely-high adaption is achieved, the grinding quality is good, efficiency is high, the production period is short, the cost is low, the good application prospect is achieved, and the equipment is worth applying and popularizing in a large-scale manner.
