Default sharpening

Can Router tips be sharpened with a oilstone or smooth water paper or do you dump them when they are blunt?

Just my 2 cents

A dull bit is a dangers bit ( A source or an instance of risk or peril ) they are cheap now days and not worth the risk.
It takes a high tech. machine (CNC) to sharpen a router bits and doing by hand will just make it worst...
Just pitch it and get a new one ,HSS is one thing and carb.tip bits is a another.
