I use a diamond file/sharpener with a 220 grit. A couple of passes should sharpen it just fine.

A Diamond file will work with some effort.
I have a "Green" wheel for my Grinder that is designed to sharpen Carbide tool bits. To get the best cut possible, they should also be honed on a Diamond wheel.
Best yet is to buy some extras from a tooling company (McMaster Carr is one). You will need to determine which style of bit is used in your Lathe when ordering.
A standard 1/4" Carbide bit (brazed tip) is about $5 usd.
A Diamond file will work with some effort.

To get my carbide bits sharpened, I have to walk ALL the way across the street to my neighbor's house. UHHHHH! What a pain! And he even does them for free!
