          Looks like some sort of earthing point to me. Hopefully Dimal or someone else electrically trained pipes up.

            Does the plug have an earth pin?

              Yep, looks like an Earth Point...
              If your grinder has a 3-Pin Aussie Plugtop, does the Earth Pin (the vertical one) show almost zero Ohms continuity with the metal case of the grinder using a Multimeter set on Ohms x 1? If not, better take it to a licensed sparky to check it out for you and make it safe...

                Thanks Readeral and Dimal - l can confirm it is an earth point. The plug has an ATS tag saying that passed a test in oct 2014. l have a friend who is a sparky - l'll get him to do the test you suggest above Dimal.

                thanks again...rob
