Is it possible to use only a Tormek T-8 and wootz FVB to follow his honing procedure for high end steel?
Do I have to use paper on a higher speed grinder to get same results?
Is it possible to use paper / felt / or leather on the tormek with different the different diamond compounds to follow his procedure?

Thanks for the reply guys. I really appreciate it. I'm thinking I'll probably get the FVB to start.

Just picked up a new T-8 and would like to start sharpening my knives and maybe some of my friends.

I am going to buy a FVB.
I am assuming I need to buy at least 1 more grinding wheel? Do I need any more leather wheels?

I have watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UckPmizllk0 where I see him using only stock Tormek stone and leather wheel however I have a question about conditioning the stone.
It seems he uses the stock wheel, then he conditions it with 1000grit diamond stone. My question is when you go to sharpen another knife do you have to recondition it back to a lower grit?
