DEWALT DWS713 10-Inch Compound Mitre Saw, 15-Amp, Single Bevel
Product description
For woodworking that calls for accurate crosscuts and angled joints, the DEWALT DWS713 combines a 10-inch blade with single-bevel compound cutting. Its 15-amp motor runs at 5,000 rpm, while the mitre detent plate provides 14 positive stops for repeatable settings. A tall sliding fence supports trim and other taller workpieces as you position them for a cut.
How to use it
Rest the workpiece against the fence, then set the mitre angle for the cut you need. The positive stops make it straightforward to return to commonly used mitre positions, which is useful when cutting several pieces to the same angle for a frame, trim run or other matching assembly. For compound work, set the mitre angle and bevel direction to suit the joint, keeping the material supported against the fence as you work.
The saw cuts dimensional lumber up to 2-inch x 6-inch at 90 degrees and 2-inch x 4-inch at 45 degrees. That capacity suits everyday jobs such as crosscutting boards, preparing angled pieces and fitting wood trim. For a project made up mainly of straight cuts, a basic crosscut-focused saw may suit the task, the DWS713 adds mitre and bevel adjustments for work where the angle of the cut matters too.

What stands out
The DWS713 is designed to make angle selection part of the cutting process, rather than an extra step handled with a separate tool. Its precise mitre system and machined base fence support help keep the workpiece positioned for controlled cuts, while the stainless-steel detent plate gives the adjustment points a clear, repeatable reference. That combination is especially useful when a project involves several matching mitres or a mix of crosscuts and angled joints.
The tall sliding fence supports base material vertically and helps when positioning taller trim. With a 10-inch blade and compound-cut capability, this saw gives home renovators and woodworkers a practical format for both straightforward board cutting and more detailed fitting work. Buyers often praise the saw’s ease of adjustment and report satisfaction with its cutting accuracy, those impressions reflect customer feedback, while the listed capacities and settings describe the product itself.
Before you decide
What can the DWS713 cut? It is recommended for wood and can crosscut 2-inch x 6-inch dimensional lumber at 90 degrees or 2-inch x 4-inch lumber at 45 degrees.
Which way does the blade bevel? The saw bevels from 0 to 48 degrees to the left and from 0 to 3 degrees to the right, supporting compound cuts in either direction within those ranges.
How does it help with repeat cuts? The mitre detent plate has 14 positive stops, making it easier to select and return to set mitre positions for matching pieces.
Buying verdict
Choose the DEWALT DWS713 when your wood projects need more than square crosscuts. Its 10-inch blade, 14 positive mitre stops, tall sliding fence and single-bevel compound adjustment bring useful control to board cutting, angled joints and trim work, with stated capacity for common dimensional lumber sizes.
