>If you are talking about a 1/16" thick parting tool, I only hone mine. Using a diamond hone in 600 grit range works very well. I generally give it 6 or so swipes with the hone and it cuts smoothly.
Mine is the Hamlet "Chis Stott" design which I put an extra angle on bottom raising the cutting point from bottom up about 1/4".
Other than making the extra angle it's never been on a grinder.
