Picked up a DW703 compound miter saw today on CL for $30. Yep - $30. Missing the guard, but otherwise, just a little dusty.

The blade on it, though, looks like trash. A little surface rust could be sanded off, but it's very dull, and from the burn marks (?) around the teeth, I assume it's been used in its dull state for some time. I feel bad throwing it out - is it worth it to have this blade sharpened? Or do I toss it and buy a nice one?

IMHO, i dont think it would be worth getting sharpened. Its only a $30 blade. just did a quick google search and found several suppliers. http://www.google.com/search?q=dewalt+10%22+60T+Fine+Finish+construction +miter+saw+blade&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

I would buy a new one and you would have piece of mind knowing that there isnt any underlying damage to the blade as well.
