If you grind High Speed Steel you need to consider a CBN wheel. It grinds VERY fast with very little heat build up. I have a youtube channel and posted a video of a grinder I made for a cheap CBN wheel I bought on ebay. Honestly the grinder and wheel is not the most logical choice but I had a spare motor and all the materials and I got the wheel (60 grit) for $23 bucks so it was a cheap way to try the CBN. I was shocked and amazed! Very aggressive fast cutting and very little heat build up.

 
Here is a 6-inch (aprox.) two sided CBN disk for a very good price. This disk can be bought with 80 grit on one side and 180 on the other. If you have a 1/2 to 3/4 HP 3450 motor laying around you could makes a mandrel and mount it directly to the shaft. Add a tool rest and you're ready to go. My 60 grit is actually a little too course.

 
i have diamond on one side and CBN on the other on my 6" tool grinder
i have 150grit CBN and it's the best!!!
