DEWALT DWS713 Single Bevel Compound Miter Saw 10 Inch

Overview

The DEWALT DWS713 is a corded 10 inch miter saw built around a 1,600 watt motor spinning at up to 5,000 RPM.

DEWALT built its reputation on jobsite grade corded tools, and the DWS713 spec sheet fits that mold: a 10 inch blade capacity paired with a 1,600 watt motor is typical of compound miter saws meant for framing and trim work rather than light hobby cutting. At 31 pounds it is portable enough to move between job sites but heavy enough to need two hands for transport.

• 10 inch blade capacity
• 1,600 watt corded motor
• Up to 5,000 RPM
• 31 pounds, 24.8 x 20 x 17.72 inches

Who it's for

Contractors and serious DIYers cutting trim, framing lumber, or crown molding are the target user for a 10 inch compound miter saw in this power class. Anyone needing a cordless or benchtop compact option for occasional small cuts would be better served by a lighter tool.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

The 1,600 watt motor spinning up to 5,000 RPM is sized for repeated cuts through dimensional lumber and trim without bogging down, while the 10 inch blade capacity covers most standard miter saw cutting needs. At 31 pounds it sits on the heavier end for a compound miter saw, which typically means a more stable base during cutting but less convenience carrying it between locations.
