I've sharpened pizza slicer blade on the Tormek and a 1" belt grinder.  It works ok, but then you'll never get a perfectly smooth bevel cranking it around by hand.  But it's just pizza, not some powered, fast spinning knife.   

Don't most slicers come with a built-in or dedicated sharpening contraption?

Grepper, yes they do.  Friend that has the restaurant has had me take one of theirs into the local service place (also does the sharpening).  Knowing how sharp those blade are, as well as awkward, I wouldn't want to try it on the Tormek.

Yea, if the slicer does not have one, I think it's another case for specialized equipment.  That video of the guy holding a stone under the blade with his bare hand creeped me out. :o
