Many places have flat and shaped diamond sanding tools, but you still need either a fine paper or arkansas stone to get your final edge.
It is my experience that there is no substitute for hand sharpening, Any grinding wheel can quickly remove excess like a chipped tip, but long and careful final polish is the only way to get a chisel you can shave with, and anything less is a dull chisel.
One trick I do use is to make wooden shapes that I need and glue wet-or-dry paper to them. By then using them wet they will cut for a long time.

I made my own from small electric motors all attached to a board. One has a stone, next had paper, next has a polisher. All together I have about 40.00 in it and it works great for me on my chisels and knives.
