A barrel-polishing apparatus for polishing a surface of a workpiece, comprising:
- a polishing medium bath with polishing mediums received therein,
- a base,
- an arm mounted on said base,
- a pressing plate mounted on said base and extended over said polishing medium bath for pressing said polishing mediums, and
- a workpiece attachment device mounted on a distal end portion of said arm and adapted to attach a workpiece to be polished to said arm,
- wherein said polishing mediums are caused to flow in a manner horizontally circulating within said polishing medium bath and said pressing plate is positioned over a predetermined location of a surface of said polishing mediums for limiting an upward bulge of said polishing mediums in said polishing medium bath.
