Abstract
A grinder includes a housing, a gear cover attached to the housing by a plurality of screws, a spindle case attached to the gear cover, a wheel guard rotatably mounted on the spindle case for covering approximately a half of a disc-shaped tool bit attached to a spindle, a stop piece that regulates the rotation of the wheel guard. The wheel guard is selectively fixed to and unfixed from the spindle case. The stop piece is fixed to the housing together with the gear cover by at least one of the plurality of screws. The stop piece has an abutting section at which the stop piece abuts the wheel guard to regulate the rotation of the wheel guard. The abutting section is located at a position deviated from an axial line of the at least one of the plurality of screws.
