What are you grinding? I have ground down some carbide end mills to a smaller diameter on occasion. Take it easy, use a diamond wheel.

CBN works great for grinding carbide. Though a bit pricy, it is well worth the money.

Hello,

I would recommend diamond grinding wheels for carbide; also make sure that you use a full synthetic coolant with a cobalt inhibitor package.

read up on the health hazards, this grinding dust is not nice because of the binding agents, ie cobalt. it requires proper dust extraction and shouldn't be breathed

CBN Wheel = HSS
Diamond Wheel = Carbide

The dust will mess you up (No joke!)!

Use coolant If possible!
