I think the 70716 is a newer model. It's depth of cut is 3.25 (versus 2.75) and it's miter angle readout is more legible. I would pick the 70716 for those reasons alone.You might want to check with WEN and specifically ask them about the differences.As for me, I'm very satisfied with my 70711.

well, unfortunately, i dunno the difference between the two. i own the 70711. it's been great except for the included blade, prolly should have gotten a new/better one at the start and leave the included one as spare. The only real complaint i have is the rotating table, and the 0 point on it is not equivalent between a rotation to the right and the rotation to the left. I had to learn where the 0 was when i turned it. This is a simple and efficient tool for cutting some items for small jobs. If you need "exacting" quality, i would look elsewhere. GREAT for the price. Would imagine a slightly "newer" model might be better? Sorry, cannot comment on the 70716. well, unfortunately, i dunno the difference between the two. i own the 70711. it's been great except for the included blade, prolly should have gotten a new/better one at the start and leave the included one as spare.

I bought the 70716 because it has a 5500rpm motor as opposed to the 5300rpm on the 70711. My other reason was I preferred the colored markings on the base that are easier for me to read.

I don't know. Search of Lowes produced no Ryobi saw. There is no difference between this one and the saw advertised at BLINQ for $115.00, other than the fact this this one IS reconditioned.... not new.

Lorraine, I do not think that there is a whole lot of difference between the two models. I own the variable speed version and I happen to use it at the upper end of the speed scale most of the time. About the only time I've really needed to slow it down was when I was sanding some non kiln dried pine and found that the higher speads heated up the wood and the sap began to run (a lot). At the lower speads I was better able to sand the pine without having as much sap run and therefore clog the dandpaper. If you don't want to pay the premium for the variable, I'm pretty sure in day to day use you really won't see the difference. However, my opinion comes from a hobbyist woodworker.

Looked through my book and couldn't find the info you wanted. I can say this , it has worked perfectly for me the motor is a soft start which is nice, I have a 8 inch router that is no problem for the saw. It also has a very well designed safety system. I know some would discard this first thing. The one thing to remember is this is a light weight contractor saw.

SGT . several reasons i chose this saw over the 5312. first off I run a high end custom cabinet shop and this saw sees very heavy uses. The sliding rails on the type of the Bosh 5312 always get dust in the bearings and with time the sliding action sticks and must be taken apart, the bearings cleaned and re-lubed with dry silicone lubricant. That is what my experience was with my last 3 sliding saws, (Dewalt, Ryobe and Dewalt pro). the other thing i love about the Bosch GCM12SD its there are no rails sticking out the back of the saw, and the clearance from the wall where my saw sits is no longer needed. It was a great investment even though its on the pricy side. i love the accuracy and the performance, I change to a better cutting blade and the performance got better. I switch from the stock blade and now run a Forrest CM12806115 Chopmaster 12 inch 80 tooth blade cleaner cuts and very smother with no tear outs. i hope this helps you

I did some googling and see what your version looks like. I think you do have the new version. Mine looks exactly like the one in the picture. My understanding is that this model was discontinued, so maybe what happened is they brought it back again and changed the appearance slightly. For what it's worth, I think this is my #1 favorite tool in my woodworking shop. Solid, reliable, and fits perfectly in the hand. I'd be curious to know if there are any functional differences between the old and new models.

I'm looking to buy one. Such a good question but no one seems to know the answer. :(update: I think they are the same except one is more cheaply built. But which one?? Who knows...could be the higher priced one!

The DC17 is an older model which Dyson no longer sells direct but is still available online and in some stores. The DC28 replaced it and is the newest non-ball animal model. The biggest difference between them is weight and suction: the DC17 weighs 33 pounds versus 20.61 pounds for the DC28, and 24 pounds for the ball DC25. The DC28 has more suction: 245 air watts versus 220 air watts for both the DC17 and the DC25. I don't have either model: I have the older DC14 Dyson Animal which, after 6 years, still has amazing suction (it has the 5/8 gallon bin). In comparing the DC25 Animal ball to the DC28 Animal, the big difference (beyond the ball technology which gives the DC25 more maneuverability) is the size of the gallon bin: DC25 has 1/3 gallon bin versus the DC28's larger 5/8 gallon bin, so you will be emptying the DC25 more frequently, which could be a pain if you have long haired cats or dogs which shed frequently; so that's the trade-off, also there is a price difference although Amazon has good discounts on both models. My DC14 does clog but it can be easily cleaned by taking the canister off completely (it comes off with the push of a button), and wiping it down with a damp paper towel or sponge. If you can't get all the small holes unclogged doing that, you can use the end of a paper clip or tiny screwdriver to stick in the holes and push out any remaining debris. It is a bit annoying to have to do only because Dyson advertises that you never need to do this. I also rinse out the bin from time to time (they provide instructions for doing this). Hope this helps in making a decision which model to buy.

I noticed it in all the detents which is why I returned it. I called customer support and they said it's normal and that no one else complained so they told me to "adapt to the saw". With my saw, I could move it at least a half degree in either direction when it was in the detent. I looked underneath and noticed the detent lever is made of plastic and it flexes easily so that was the problem. I couldn't stand the thought of spending over $500 on a saw that wasn't accurate or repeatable so I returned it. IMO, it's a MAJOR flaw. I don't care what anyone says. Companies are trying to save costs wherever they can and it's affecting quality. I would have gladly paid an extra $10 for a metal detent lever.

Both of the saws have a 5 star rating on our website. Both also have good review. The DeWalt has been reviewed more often and we have sold more of the DeWalt unit. The price is better on the DeWalt as well. This unit is sold for $948.99 while the DeWalt is available for $794.99.

I don't know. I have a hobby shop. I bought the saw to cut metal for a front end loader project.... which has stalled. But I did make about 30 cuts with the saw and it worked great. I cut a piece of flat bar, laying flat which I probably should not have done and it blade is no longer what it once was, which was amazing. If still cuts but throws sparks more. So, it works great. It's very well constructed. The hold down clamp works really well and angles nicely and I'd have to guess you'd get 50 -75 cuts out of a blade if you treat it well. Replacement seem to be in the 100 range. so that's all I can offer. I don't know. I have a hobby shop. I bought the saw to cut metal for a front end loader project.... which has stalled.

Dear Mr. Y. Balas: I bought the WORX 775, as confirmed by Amazon. I know the difference between 14" and 19", and $150 vs $433.48. I bought the 14" WORX WG775 Lil'Mo 14" 24 volt cordless lawn mower, on sale, for $150. I am very pleased with it. Have a nice day.

I only ordered the Nisaku brand one so I don't have this one but I don't think there will be any difference at all. The Nisaku is perfect as others say this one is. I'll probably order another one since they are so useful. If I do I will order this one for comparison if it is still $2.50 cheaper. I ordered my Nisaku through "Japan Tools" handled by Amazon. The description of the other one is wrong at this writing. The length given is shorter but the Nisaku that I received was excactly the the same as the description for this one, 12 1/2' long with a 7 1/4" blade and a tang going into the wood handle 2 1/4".

The offer you see might be slightly different from the one I bought more than 1 year ago. This offer is cheaper and it comes with the blade you see in the picture, used mainly for metal as in the picture, and possibly a blade for cutting wood, it has longer teeth and cuts wood much better than the one in the picture. Other accessories are included which will help using the tool straight out of the box, and as you use it you will find out what you will need. There are also blades from other brands that work with this tool, some with adapters and some without. Some might cost less than B&D depending on sales and promotions in local stores. Check with Lowes, Home Depot, and other stores in your area. I would buy this as it is, it is a good tool and has been worth the money!

no difference between them just comes with a leather carrier. all saw tools are interchangeable with parts just the way they are being carried is what makes the price different.

I compared all of them. I did not care for the saw on the side. Grandson likes tools not woodworking. That was the big difference I noticed. I looked on eBay also but this was the best.
