Grind wheel motor, use a servo or VFD

My client has a CNC turn grind machine that has a servo for the grind wheel motor (rotary axis constant speed). The servo operating mode is position. I would like to change the servo mode to velocity mode or better yet replace the servo with a VFD. Is the use of a VFD for this application a viable option? Is changing the servo mode to velocity an ok option?
