It is well known to be difficult to grind soft metals like copper and aluminmum. When doing it commercially they use automatic dressers that dress the wheel constantly. Not something to try at home as a newbie. Soft steels will grind OK, just use a coarser soft wheel with an open structure for less problems with the grinding. Grandpop's wheel suggestions are good for ordinary steels.
