Curious if you have tested the switch to make sure it is the problem? Also, have you checked the armature & brushes (make sure the brushes move freely in the brush tubes and squarely contact the armature)?
The DW708 is prone to bearing issues and the field is not uncommon either.
It would be unlikely to have a new switch fail that soon unless there is another issue causing it.
I assume you are asking about the Dewalt DW708 TYPE 3 Crosscut Miter Sawas seen here http://www.ereplacementparts.com/dewalt-dw708-type-crosscut-miter-saw-parts-c-1009_1163_2604.html
Have you taken it apart yet? You will need screwdrivers, spring clip pliers, small bearing puller and a pipe same diameter as the inside of the bearing; for replacement of bearing. Be sure to take out the brushes before taking out the armature. Part 165-90 You most likely will have to replace part 87 too. The bearing rests in there and gets worn too. Serious bearing/vibration problems causes the end cap part 84, to wear out.
You do not have to drill anything out, if you are talking about the hold-down locking pin that keeps the blade assy locked down when not in use. I have created a tutorial for replacing the locking pin, you can find it here, http://mgfic.com/dewalt708_lockingpin.htm
