8" 3600rpm Grinder Ok For Hss Bits?

Is an 8" 3600rpm grinder OK for HSS lathe bits, or will it generate too much heat and ruin the tool?

I think the answer is yes, but thinking gets me in trouble sometimes...

I have a 6" grinder, but it is set up with wheels for sharpening wood tools and I don't want to change it if the 8" will work.
