I purchased this saw for a diy project and it made my job turn out like a pro! Out of the box and put to work, it was perfect. This tool is an upgrade from an old model I got from my dad after he passed. I’ll keep it Dewalt for its sturdiness and smart design and ease of operation . Thank you!

Didn't last very long
I purchased this on Jan. 22nd 2022 and it blew apart on March 31 2023. I was doing easy 26 degree miters on 1 1/4" pine trim and the right fence literally blew off and destroyed a sixty dollar Diablo 90 tooth blade. It's a wonder I wasn't blinded or killed. This was not the removable section of the fence. Don't trust this saw.

    Cuts beautifully at an angle. This allowed my husband to create a custom frame to fit a family heirloom that my father-in-law made.

    Cheap made saw
    Just do a quick youtube search for Dewalt bearing repair then for Bosch bearing repair and the only result will be hundreds of how to Fix your Dewalt wont find one for the Bosch saw. New bearings on my 716 Dewalt after just one year. Could they have found cheaper bearings.

      So far I love this saw. It seems well made and we'll designed and I'm glad I sprung for the extra $100 over the other brand low end saw. I really feel like I am using a professional saw when I use it. The base is metal and secures nicely to a stand. You can cut any angle with it, either to the preset detent stops or free wheel and lock down with the screw down handle. So far I've used it for basic framing of SPF and pressure treated and it goes through a 2x4 like it was made of paper. The best feature of a saw like this verses a circular saw is that you can set up a stop block system and make repeated exact cuts which is important for framing. So my only complaint is that the fence back doesn't have holes on the left side so that one can screw a piece of stock to it to make a stop block system in both sides. I have my own stop block system on a custom stand I made but I don't know why this was excluded.

      Out of the box, plug in and get to accurate cuts in no time! Changing out the blade is a cinch. Just follow the directions. Great product!

      exchanged for manufacturing defect
      The first saw I bought did not have a functioning miter lock. At the factory, they installed a nut for the miter lock knob that had not yet been tapped! This meant the knob could not be screwed in and therefore could not lock on a non-detent miter angle. Unacceptable, if you ask me, but I returned it (w/o box or receipt!) and bought a new one. Once exchanged, the saw functions perfectly, with acceptable accuracy of both miter and bevel right out of the box.

        This is my second 10" Dewalt. Renovated 2 homes, gave my first to my son. New Dewalt New project on my 3rd home (addition). Always cleaned after use and stored covered. Reliability a plus, Blade Change a snap. I like the lock-in for miteres. Base is well constructed compared to my first Dewalt. Light weight / easy to carry.

        A worth the Buy
        When i first baught this Miter Saw, I was contemplating on which i should get and out of all the workers around that area walked past me, there was this gentleman named Paul who works at the Store. He was a tremendous help on finding the right one for me without trying to sell me a higher price miter. Im glad i got it because i made a table for my miter saw and a table to do more work.

          The DeWalt 10 inch, 15 amp compound miter saw is an outstanding miter saw. It’s easy to use and makes awesome precise cuts. It’s durable and safe. The safety features made this saw the saw of choice of my wife. She is new to woodworking and was Leary of using a saw. She’s almost a pro now and feels right at home with using this saw.

          I will likely never give a product a 5 star review but this saw does exactly what I need it to do. I've only had it for 2 weeks new and have been using it heavily, and so far no issues. I do enjoy that the collection bag is removable and a shop vac can be hooked directly to it to keep the dust down in the shop.

          Used this product to install some floor molding, and door casing it was great worked like a charm. I also bought a blade with 60 teeth to make a smooth cut. Easy to understand directions, good price , I will be able to use this mitre saw for a long time.

            It's my first time to own a miter saw, and I bought this DeWalt to replace a Ryobi that I had gotten a couple of weeks prior. I wanted an entry-level saw, and was shopping primarily by price. After trying out the Ryobi, I realized I needed a better machine, so I returned it and got this DeWalt. My primary reason was the accuracy and stability of the angle selection. This DeWalt clicks over to 45 or wherever, and stays there. Not 44, not 46, but 45. I felt like the Ryobi I had first purchased was hit-or-miss when selecting an angle. There was too much wiggle, and I didn't think the cuts would be repeatable with enough accuracy. This alone was worth the extra money that I paid for the DeWalt. It's well-built, and feels like a more professional machine. My first project was a leather stitching pony, and I'm happy with the results. I think the DeWalt will be a long-lasting addition to my hobby shop, and will work well for the projects I have in mind. Having said that, there are two things that disappointed me: 1) the bevel locking knob on the back of the machine is plastic, whereas the floor model I saw had a nice anodized aluminum knob, and 2) there's no work clamp included with the saw. DeWalt has one available, but it's overpriced, in my opinion. Those two exceptions were disappointing, but the quality of the machine and it's operation keeps me happy with my decision, and I can recommend this DeWalt DW713 for hobbyists and professionals.

            Everything was square out of the box. I always go over my tools before ever using the first time to make sure they are going to be accurate, Built like a tank, yet simple and functional, a well designed and proven product from Dewalt. Negatives? No clamp, No laser. I would have rather had these than a blade which I did not use at all. Dust collection is terrible at best, but it makes square 90 deg cuts and right on 45 deg miters for my woodworking projects. Now I don't have to tear down the table saw set up (dado and box joints) to cut my boards to finish length or to make my precision miters. I do box making and I like to test cut box joints on my stock, then cut to length and re cut the finish box joints. Now I can do all of this without and tear downs!

            Great, but missing left side fence, dust bag and blade wrench.
            Product runs well and has no trouble screaming to life- would recommend to anyone from homeowner to pro, BUT... BIG disappointment- The saw didn't come with the left side sliding fence for crown, no dust bag and no blade wrench. The fence is available from the manufacturer, but it's $40 for a piece of aluminum and a wing nut!!!!! Huge let down here and the store can't help because they're not a common items. I can deal without a bag or wrench, but no fence stinks. Trying to determine if I can make my own out of wood.

            amazing saw
            i just bought this saw a couple of days ago and it is amazing. this saw cuts 2x4's like a hot knife through butter. it came perfectly square right out of the box, and the blade that came with it was great as well. for the price, this saw can not be beat. it even cut a 4x4 smoothly. which surprised me. the dust collection collects about 7/8's of the dust leaving me with very little clean up to do. if you have to get a smaller portable saw. this saw is the right one for you! and no i do not work for home depot.

            12 yrs and going strong
            I bought the saw 12 years ago after a 2year old Hi***hi saw lost its accuracy. I am a pro and most of the guys I work with have one of these and use it as their go to saw. The 10 inch slide is great for wider cuts but not one saw I used in the past 25 years has come close to the precision found on this one. I probably will buy another for a backup if mine ever does puke. Awesome saw!!

            The Best Miter Saw I've Ever Owned
            I love woodworking, and before my wife bought me this saw, I did all of my cutting by hand, and by hand I mean miter box and hand saw. It was a great workout, and after many failed attempts I did start to get strait square cuts. After my wife got me this a year ago, I think I’ve only used my hand saw once. I use it for almost everything, from 4x4’s to 1x2’s and even some crown molding for some bookshelves I made one. With the vacuum attachment dust collection is a snap, my work and work area stays clean and safe. With the Precision Track and Stop System also from Home Depot, I can break the golden rule of cutting, measure once cut once, or twice, of 10 times. It’s a perfect saw if you love woodworking and are just getting started.

              Great saw, very dependable
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this all 2 years ago, I love it, it's been very dependable
              by
                I've been working it hard for several weeks now and no issues at all. It's solid, square, rugged and light. It of course has the limits of a 10" saw, that's to be expected. For the price I doubt I could find anything that would beat it.

                I had always purchased the under $100 miter saws. This is my first upgrade, and man what an upgrade!!! Sliding it for my angle cuts is like sliding on ice! Everything about this saw I love!! I feel like I have the Cadillac version now! lol For $260, it has been worth every penny!!
