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.
