What is the differance between the DW317K and the DW317 Vs Orbital Jig Saw
1687813
I haven't looked this up specifically, but generally a DeWalt product number ending with a "K", means it's the base tool, in this case the DW317 VS Orbital Jig Saw, in a "kit". A kit may included a hard or soft carry case, blades, whatever. More common in their battery operated stuff, where a kit will included batteries and a charger.

I can't say for sure why the difference in price but I can say that this saw has performed well at every task I've given it. Not so much as a hiccup. Very happy with the purchase. Hope that helps.

That's a good question. Although I'm not sure exactly the definition of orbital is, I now it is very popular in heavy duty jigsaws, and reciprocating saws. It has to do with the type of cut you are looking for. I hear a lot about 'straight-line cuts' vs. 'orbital cuts'. It does not however vibrate in a circle.

Sorry I can't answer that question as I sent the saw back to Amazon. It was so poorly made I did not want to own it.

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.

I have both. The Sven is better made, but more of a pain in the rear to assemble and then dis-assemble. Also, the Sven depends on a wing nut to assemble which is VERY easily lost. I bought a few xtra nuts and tied them to the saw to be safe. Really though, they are both good saws.

I have used the dw621 lightly for several years. It is easy to use, has precise calibrations and maintains constant velocity on all but the largest cuts. I have not complaints concerning it. I had one DeWalt router that burned out but forget the model number, it may have been the dw618, but it was many years ago.

You can check the specs on Makita's site to verify the differences. I wouldn't rely on seller descriptions. The 610 has the LED light and blade brake. Definitely worth the extra cost if/when you work in low light inside or in the evening (bound to happen) so you can actually SEE your cut well, and the blade brake is nice for added safety. I like this saw for sure.

There is a great side by side comparrison on YouTube. Or Google DeWalt DW715 vs DW716

This is from another user and it is correct. DW735X 13" vs DW734 12.5" 22 days ago There are several differences. The 734 is a lower end machine that is like the Delta, Ridgid and several other similar models. It does have three cutters versus two for the other ones, which is a plus. It has a capacity that is 1/2 longer, which is a slight plus. It has a more efficient dust removal system which includes a fan to blow out the dust. It is an overall beefier machine that is designed for more of a semi-pro environment. It also has two feed speeds, which is nice for rough work and for finish work. For me, the biggest plus, and the deciding factor, was that I could buy professional quality carbide knives for the 735. Not that I cut so much wood, but carbide lasts forever and just works so much better than the disposable steel blades.

Correct, DCK492L2 has a slightly better recip. saw in that you have multiple blade settings. The 491L2 recip. saw has no such feature. Other than that, no significant differences.

I don't know the answer, I ordered a DC330B XRP 18 Volt regular Jig Saw for $105.00. The box said DC330B XRP, exactly what I ordered. When I opened the box and inspected the Bare Tool, I noticed that it was all scuffed up, and not even the right tool, it said it was a DC330. It looks like someone swapped the tool. I called Amazon to complain about the error and they sent me a paid postage through my email address....I haven't heard anything since. my email address is dwightbyron@hotmail.com

Kma3220 is for 5mm bits and kma3200 jig is for 1/4in drill bit. Do not intermix or you'll get sloppy holes .

One difference I know of is that type 2 saws are no longer compatible with DeWalt's laser guide attachment. I bought the Infiniter RS-1 instead and have been happy with it...http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000CRE7Q4/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1410519922&sr;=8-1π=SX200_QL40

I don't know except that one is supplied by CPO outlet and the other is by Amazon Prime. Other than that it is the same table top saw but one with and one without the gravity rise stand

TJH, I do not know the difference between the two, but I do love what I purchased. It works well, is reliable and tough. One of the best tools I have purchased. Dave

The "orbital" refers to the circular motion of the blade. It moves up and down (as if on a y-axis) and also forward and backward (as if on the x-axis). The forward/backward motion is very slight compared to the up/down motion. It makes the cut more aggressive and a lot faster. Breaking down 2x4's goes very quickly. However, you can set the orbital motion from min to max, so this is very adjustable and this saw can still make very accurate cuts with the right blades.
