Not being able to afford one of the fancy automatic tungsten sharpeners, I have been doing what I suspect most are - sharpening on a grinder and then polishing on abrasives of one sort or the other.
Roaming around in my local big box store the other day, I stumbled on this :

A few longitudinal swipes on this with the tungsten after sharpening on the grinder really smooths it out. I have noticed an improvement in the arc.
The best part is that the stones were less than $6.00 each. I bought one for steel and one for aluminum.
