A manufacturing method for a rotating electric machine, in which the distal end portions of a plurality of coil ends, which are projected from slots of a stator core of a rotating electric machine and which are arranged in the radial direction of the stator core to form a plurality of layers, are held, and the coil ends are twisted and bent while moving the distal end portions in the circumferential direction. Neutral lines for bending the coil ends are different for each layer, and the neutral lines for the bending are positioned on farther outer sides for coil ends of farther outer layers.
