No wonder why OSHA has a database full of miter saw injuries

The blade was $20.00 plus, but it has the electrically treated teeth. Has been on the Saw for nearly 10 years without dulling. 

It ONLY gets used for cutting smallish wood Moldings, so it does not get abused.

Sounds right.  Those impulse hardened teeth last a fairly long time.  One of the things on my list is to resharpen my miter box saw; I put in perhaps $3k in millwork in my house with that saw (including 5 1/4" crown) after I sharpened it initially, as well as using it in the shop, and it needs a bit of a touch up.

What is holding up the other end?

I coped inside corners. No fingers in danger zone, using a miter saw whacking a miter off for coping. For outside corners I had to use a miter saw, but, there again, no fingers in the danger zone.
