Said each first fixing piece 42 has a first through orifice 421 formed proximate to a bottom thereof and has two elongated orifices 422 defined adjacent to a top thereof, and a first connecting shaft 43 is inserted between the first through orifice 421 of said each first fixing piece 42 respectively and has a threaded orifice 431 arranged on a central position thereof, a first holder 41 is defined between the two first fixing pieces 42, each of two posts 44 is inserted into two opposite elongated orifices 422 of the two first fixing pieces 42 and is in connection with the first holder 41 on which a first holding plate 40 is fixed, wherein the first holder 41 has a tab 411 extending outwardly from a bottom of a front end thereof and has an elongated hole 412 defined on the tab 411 so as to accommodate a threaded rod 45 which screws with the threaded orifice 431 of the first connecting shaft 43. A second connecting shaft 33 is inserted a second through orifice 321 of said each second fixing piece 32, and a second holder 31 is defined between the two second fixing pieces 32 and is configured to support a second holding plate 30. Furthermore, a third holding plate 23 is fixed between the two parallel grinding wheels 22 and between the two supporting shelves 21.

Referring further to FIGS. 3 to 5, the threaded rod 45 is rotated inward to drive the first holder 41 to move outward, and said each post 44 moves downward along the two opposite elongated orifices 422 of the two first fixing pieces 42 respectively, such that the first holder 41 is driven to move downward by said each post 44. In contrast, the threaded rod 45 is rotated outward to drive the first holder 41 to move inward, and said each post 44 moves upward along the two opposite elongated orifices 422 of the two first fixing pieces 42 respectively, such that the first holder 41 is driven to move upward by said each post 44.
