Bench grinders are also disclosed which incorporate the light assembly therein as part thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the assembly includes a cover plate which is secured to the annular guard of a bench grinder substantially above the opening whereat work is performed. A mounting bracket is secured at a mounting arm thereof to the cover plate. The mounting bracket has a bracket portion formed at an end thereof and extending therefrom. This bracket portion has an opening formed therein which receives a light bulb receptacle that carries a light bulb. Formed thusly, when the cover plate is positioned on the annular guard, the bulb is held between the cover plate and the guard so that its light is cast downwardly towards the work being performed and away from the eyes of the user.
