Can I change a 250 whet for 200 diamond?

Hi.

I’m wondering if anyone on here has switched a 250mm whetstone grinding wheel for a 200mm cnb?
Will mostly be used for my turning chisels so not worried about the hollow grind.
Just wondering if it will work?

I guess the bore size will be different on the Axminster CBN wheels so I’ll have to get something to sort that.

Also is a 180g wheel going to give a sharp edge? Seems really course but I’m not well versed so this is a learning exercise

Thanks in advance.

I have two CBN wheels on my main grinder. A 180 grit 8" and an 80 grit 6". It works fine. It's the bore size that is important as far as fitting goes.
