September 5, 1997

Electroglas, Inc.
2901 Coronado Drive
Santa Clara, California 95054

Ladies and Gentlemen:

               We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be
filed by Electroglas, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on September 5, 1997 (the "Registration
Statement"), relating to the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, of 806,250 shares of the Company's Common Stock (the "Shares"). The
Shares are reserved for issuance pursuant to the Company's 1997 Stock Incentive
Plan and an agreement with certain employees of Knights Technology, Inc. As
counsel to the Company, we have examined the proceedings taken by the Company in
connection with the registration of the Shares.

               It is our opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold in the
manner described in the Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, will
be legally and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.

               We consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and further consent to all references to us in the
Registration Statement and any amendments thereto.

                                            Very truly yours,


                                            /s/ Morrison & Foerster LLP

                      CONSENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


        We consent to the incorporation by reference in the Registration
Statement (Form S-8) pertaining to the 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and Stock
Options granted pursuant to Agreements made between Electroglas, Inc. and
Certain Employees of Knights Technology, Inc. of our reports dated January 21,
