Abstract
A grinding swarf collector is disclosed. An outer periphery and side surfaces of a grinding wheel, except a site of grinding including a grinding point, are covered with a cover. A dust collecting plate is disposed behind the grinding point in a direction of rotation of the grinding wheel. Swarf scattered rearward collides with the dust collecting plate, and is scooped up thereby toward a suction port. The suction port sucks the swarf, which is sucked into a vacuum cleaner. Swarf scattered around the grinding wheel collides with the cover, falls to an opening formed below, and is sucked through the suction port. Thus, grinding swarf is collected efficiently.
