Also don't forget, they are known in the state of California to cause cancer.
Green wheels do not grind carbide, they sort of chip it off and do not leave a nice edge.
On a drill type tool nailing runout offhand is going to be difficult. Not sure how you check the tool for size.
I have lots of plated wheels which are only one layer of diamond deep but used only if I need a special form in the wheel.
Here would be finish on a multi tooth API or most are a radius that needs to be put on.
If at end of grind the carbide is hot to your fingers for 10 seconds you have most likely damaged it.
Your mileage may vary.
General purpose dry and wet I'd be in 320 grit and best some type of coolant be it just a spray bottle squirting like mad.

To do it right I would send to a tool and cutter grinder. That’s all they do. Google and see if one is near you.
Finishing fine edge with a green wheel we use a hard wheel, and small infeed cuts so it was more like honing than what we most think of grinding, one can get a fingernail sharp edge greewheeling with the right wheel and set up.
