Which is better for cutting metal?

The DCG413B handles light cutting fine at full speed and costs less. The DCG410VSB lets you slow the wheel for cleaner cuts in thin stock and takes 5 in. wheels for more depth.

Is variable speed worth the extra money?

Yes if you grind stainless, aluminum, or use flap and wire wheels that run better below full speed. For basic cutting and grinding, the DCG413B saves you about $36.

Which one is lighter?

The DCG413B is about 3.7 lbs; the DCG410VSB is 3.92 lbs. Both are tool-only weights, so add a 20V battery to each.

Do both use the same batteries?

Yes. Both run on DeWalt 20V MAX batteries, and neither ships with a battery or charger.

Which has better kickback protection?

Both have it. The DCG413B uses a kickback brake and E-Clutch; the DCG410VSB uses an anti-rotation system that shuts the tool down when it senses excessive motion.

Both use brushless motors. The DCG410VSB adds metal gears and a 3 year limited warranty, which favors it for daily jobsite use.
