I'm not a grinding expert, but I believe it would work fine with the correct selection of grinding wheel type. A quick look on www.nortonindustrial.com shows many wheel compositions recommended for grinding aluminum. I bet a call to one of their application engineer folks would get you a good recommendation for a wheel in the size and material you need. Grinding doesn't have to be terribly high RPM, your 4,000 should be fine, it's more a function of taking very light cuts and not letting heat build up.

How well would a grinding wheel work with that? Spindles only go to about 4000 rpm.
