"I've got a handful of ceramic tuning tools. Mine are great but BRITTLE!
The
chisel point tools for turning slugs are FB. But the blade-end types for
twisting ceramic trimmers chip very easily when encountering a tight cap
like C22."

Several manufacturers make special grinding wheels for sharpening carbide
tipped tools...They are light green in color, are very soft and WILL NOT
grind steel, they will shred and groove if used on steel...They sharpen
ceramic tools FB...The one I have is a hand-me-down, but I believe they
are expensive...
