A grinding apparatus includes a table that holds a workpiece, and a grinding unit including a grinding wheel mounted to a spindle. The grinding wheel has a grindstone formed by binding abrasive grains with a bonding agent. In addition, the grinding apparatus further includes: a supply unit that supplies grinding water to at least the grindstone when grinding the workpiece; and a light applying unit that is disposed adjacent to the table and that applies light to a grinding surface of the grindstone grinding the workpiece held by the table. The light applying unit includes a light emission section that emits light, and a diffusion preventive wall that surrounds the light emission section and prevents diffusion of the light.

An adjustable grinding apparatus includes a grinder having a motor and grinding disk. A grinder base houses the motor. The grinder base has at least one sidewall extending around at least a portion of the motor. An adjustable motor support includes a motor support surface positioned between the motor and the grinding disk. First, second arms are affixed to first and second ends of the motor support surface and rotatably secured to the at least one sidewall. At least one of the first, second arms has at least one slotted cutout. A locking mechanism is in communication with at least one of the first and second arms and the at least one sidewall through at least one slotted cutout. The grinder and the adjustable motor support are rotatable about the grinder base to adjust a grinding orientation of the grinder. A grinder position is fixable by tightening the locking mechanism.
