Can I sharpen ceramic kitchen knifes with a Tormek sharpening machine?
Is the Tormek T-4 suitable to sharpen ceramic knives? In your video you say ceramic knives can be sharpened with a Diamond Grinding Wheel. But a Tormek T-8 with a Diamond Wheel is out of my price range for hobby use. I have been using dmt dimand stones but this is very time consuming and I am never happy with the results. I would also use the setup for woodworking tools.

The wood work tools I would be sharpening are plane blades and basic hand chisel’s.
as ceramic is a special material we recommend to use a Diamond Grinding Wheel to sharpen it.
