DEWALT Miter Saw, Single Bevel, Compound, 10-Inch, 15-Amp (DWS713)

The DEWALT DWS713 is a 10-inch single-bevel compound miter saw powered by a 15-amp motor, designed for woodworkers and DIYers who need reliable angle and cross cuts. It provides a dedicated cutting setup for handling common dimensional lumber and vertical trim pieces.

For angle adjustments, the tool features a stainless-steel miter detent plate with 14 positive stops alongside a precise miter system and machined base fence support. It also includes a tall sliding fence that accommodates baseboards up to 4-1/4 inches positioned vertically against the fence.

The cutting capacities cover standard framing and trim tasks, handling 2-inch by 6-inch dimensional lumber at 90-degree cross cuts and 2-inch by 4-inch lumber at 45 degrees. For bevel operations, the blade tilts from 0 to 48 degrees to the left, with an additional 0 to 3 degrees of bevel to the right.

Because this is a single-bevel model, bevel cuts to the right are limited to 3 degrees, meaning most angled bevels require flipping the workpiece. The cross cut width is also constrained to 2x6 boards at 90 degrees, which limits work with wider planks.

Verdict: The DEWALT DWS713 is a solid choice for anyone needing a capable 15-amp miter saw for standard framing lumber and vertical trim up to 4-1/4 inches. It suits users who prioritize straightforward left-bevel cutting and positive miter stops for daily wood projects.

• Blade Diameter: 10-inch
• Motor: 15-Amp
• Bevel Range: 0 to 48 degrees left, 0 to 3 degrees right
• Miter Detent Stops: 14 positive stops
• Vertical Base Capacity: 4-1/4 inches
• Cross Cut Capacity (90 degrees): 2x6 dimensional lumber
• Cross Cut Capacity (45 degrees): 2x4 dimensional lumber

A great fit if you:

• Cut dimensional lumber up to 2x6 at 90 degrees or 2x4 at 45 degrees
• Work with standing base moldings up to 4-1/4 inches tall
• Rely on preset positive stops for frequent miter angles

Consider something else if you:

• Need wide bevel angles to the right side beyond 3 degrees
• Regularly cross-cut lumber wider than 2x6 boards
