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.
