All the recommendations I have heard or read strongly advise
against water cooling tungsten tipped tools.If you have to grind
them maybe they should just air cool.
Apart from stone,I carve wood and have the habit to hone my tools
regularly.I have a diamond sharpening block with course
and fine diamond strips recommended for tungsten. Its brilliant!
It does all my steel tools as well.
If you are in the U.K. try-------
