BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     (a) Field of the Invention 
     The present invention creation relates to a grinding workbench, and more particularly to a grinding workbench with improved structure that provides the user with a design that conforms to ergonomics, is easy to use, and enables powerful collection of dust. Moreover, the grinding workbench with improved structure is able to remove burrs from extruded objects, remove surface dirt and finish the surface of objects using a sand blasting method. 
     (b) Description of the Prior Art 
     The majority of grinding workbenches or grinding machines of the prior art have a fixed structure and height, and mainly have an open structure. Therefore, it is necessary to accommodate the height of the grinding workbench or grinding machine when operating such machines. 
     However, because the operation mode and angle of such grinding workbenches or grinding machines are usually fixed by the structural configuration, thus, when the height of the grinding workbench or grinding machine is not appropriate to the stature of the operator, and because of the inability to adjust the height of the machine, it causes inconvenience to the operator when operating such machines, to the extent of resulting in injury to the machine operator. 
     In addition, because the dust produced during the grinding process is inhaled into the body, this further results in injury to the health of the machine operator. Moreover, when the machine operator is finishing the surface of an object, a cutting tool or other tool must be used to manually remove the burrs of the object, remove surface dirt, and retouch the surface of the object. However, because of misoperation by the machine operator, such a method directly leads to very easily damaging the surface of the object. 
     Hence it can be seen that are still a great many shortcomings in the grinding workbenches or grinding machines of the prior art which are in need of urgent improvement.

     Each of the aforementioned mobile wheels  16  is fitted to the bottom portion of the main body  10 , and are used to enable movement of the main body  1 . When a user is operating the grinding workbench  1 , the user&#39;s two feet can be respectively placed on the two sides of the open-ended space  109  of the main body  10 , thereby enabling the user to correctly face the top surface of the operating area  103  of the main body  10 . Whereupon, the user can extend their two hands through the operating openings  107  on the two sides of the operating area  103  into the interior of the operating area  103 . Moreover, the user is able to start up the grinding workbench  1  and control the height of the first casing  101  through use of the control switch  12  inside the operating area  103 . The user is able to use the control switch  12  to adjust the grinding workbench  1  to a suitable height by raising or lowering the first casing  101 . 
     After which, the user is able to raise the top surface of the operating area  103 , place the object to be ground within the operating area  103 , and view the position of the object to be ground through the transparent component  105  of the operating area  103 . Moreover, the enlarging component  108  enables enlarging the object to be ground to better carry out precise and accurate grinding, and further prevents injury to the user because of misoperation during the grinding process. When operating the grinding workbench  1 , the user can first turn on the grinding device  13  and the dust collecting device  15 , then proceed with grinding the object to be ground by using the grinding device  13 . The dust produced during the grinding process enters the dust collecting opening  104  at the bottom portion of the operating area  103 , and first filtering of the dust is carried out using the filter screen  150  located on the dust collecting opening  104 . The dust that passes through the filter screen  150  enters the dust bag  152  and is concentrated therein. The dust that passes through the dust bag  152  then enters the high density filter  154 , which is used to improve concentration of the dust and filter effectiveness. After which, using a method of indirect and non-direct contact to prevent damage to the surface of the object and injury to the user, the nozzle apparatus  14  uses the high-pressure gas mixed with sand grains blown out from the nozzle  146  to remove burrs from an extruded object as well as surface dirt, and finish the surface of the object. 
     It is of course to be understood that the embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.
