I am currently in need of replacing a 10″ miter saw and am looking at both of these models the DW713 vs DWS713. I am assuming the DW713 is no longer being produced and older because the other has an ‘S’ and its average price is a bit lower.
I fail to find any major differences except the mechanism by which the pivoting table locks. Maybe there is also a difference in the bevel adjustment on these saws? I have used both miter locking mechanisms but curious to know what saw people would prefer.
I believe the DWS713 is a newer model. Just a quick search, it looks like they are priced the same at HD but that is all i checked. In regards to differences, I only see a couple. it looks like the main components are all the same such as motor and other features. The differences I see are:
- The DWS has 14 positive stops vs 11 for the DW
- The DWS comes with a dust bag
Other than those, i am not seeing a big difference.
