Doesn't sound like a good idea. A commercial surface grinder works by virtue of being able to hold the wheel RIGIDLY at an exact distance from the table with only the tiniest bit of pressure on the work piece. Using a spring loaded wheel would have pretty much the opposite effect. No matter if it followed the contour of the work piece or not, it would generate a huge amount of heat. When the work piece is allowed to get hot on a commercial surface grinder you get warpage in the work piece....
