I can grind a lot of steel using a Tormek (wet) with a 46 grit Norton 3X wheel or an 80 grit CBN wheel. The steel stays cool. (I use Honerite Gold at the recommended 1:25 dilution with water to prevent wheel and bushing rust.)
I can certainly understand being reluctant to grind or sharpen with high speed (hot) grinding equipment. I would not include the Tormek in that category. I would also not be quite as dogmatic about a belt grinder with a variable speed DC motor and a smaller drive pulley designed to decrease the surface feet per minute and increase the torque.
