Personally, I seldom grind and tend to do touch-up honing with a
diamond hone from DMT.  Two of them, actually.  I have a medium grit
bench stone and a medium and fine grit folding stone.  I take a couple
of minutes with that and even my ASP 2060 tools are shaving sharp.

Arkansas stones are nice for knives, but cut entirely too slow for me
to want to try to hone my turning tools on them.
