Does anyone know a good place to send a binding channel bit to be sharpened. I realize they will come back a little smaller but I should have enough bearings to cover that.

I send my router bits out with my saw blades to Forrest.

They are easy to sharpen with a diamond hones, like these ones from LV http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=33007&cat=1,46168,46180 or http://www.leevalley.com/en/wood/page.aspx?p=70638&cat=1,43072,43077
You just sharpen the flat face and make sure to take an equal number of passes on all blades.

It doesn't take more than a minute or two to put a nice sharp edge back on your cutter.

+1 on the above!
3+ mm Dremel bits, binding bit,trim bits. Virtually everything except my spiral downcut bit (so far!)

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.
