Can a masonry bit be sharpened? Where can I sharpen it? How much does it usually cost?

You can sharpen one on a grinding wheel or a diamond wheel. I doubt that a mill file would cut the carbide.

I don't use masonry bits that much. I just replace them when they are dull. The Drill Doctor device advertises that it will sharpen masonry bits.

Hope this helps.
