Anything that turns at 22,500rpm needs to be sharpened by
a pro on a machine that will not destroy the balance. You
"can" freshen up the router bit by using a flat diamond file
and touch up the "flat side only". Most services only charge
$5.00 to do a router bit.

Good point about the balance.. I figured one needed to be careful.
Oh well, I'll add it to the pile of stuff to go to the shop.
