1. A grinding machine for grinding a tool, the grinding machine comprising:
a support unit configured to support the tool to be ground and located on a horizontal reference plane, said support unit comprising members configured to incline said support unit by an angle with respect to the horizontal reference plane;
an operating unit comprising an abrasive assembly configured to abrade at least a portion of the tool to be ground, said operating unit being movable along a main axis of development of said grinding machine, perpendicular to the horizontal reference plane, in order to move nearer to or farther away from said support unit and with respect to said support unit; and
an adjustment system comprising at least one adjustment element to adjust an inclination of said support unit with respect to the horizontal reference plane, wherein
said support unit further comprises an abutment element configured to abut on said at least one adjustment element, said at least one adjustment element being connected to said operating unit and extending in a direction parallel to the main axis of development,
said at least one adjustment element further comprises a lower end portion shaped so as to define a localized contact zone between said at least one adjustment element and said abutment element and is movable parallel to the main axis of development to assume at least an adjustment position disposed at a distance from the horizontal reference plane, and
the distance is a linear distance between said lower end portion of said at least one adjustment element and the horizontal reference plane and corresponds univocally to the angle.
