    I'd use a diamond wheel myself

    but keeping the angles right and the blade balanced is the bigger challenge

    Hi Ian

    In the bigger picture i was thinking of sharpening my circular saw blades as well so a diamond blade may be better.
    What do you think????

    I will be going to the working with wood show this weekend so i will have a look there.

    depending on what you need to sharpen Tormek has a "blackstone" available for their sharpener. Suitable for touching up tungsten and stainless
    I love Triton wetstone grinders they make my Tormek look soooooo soooooo good.
