A benchtop band saw including a base, a clamp assembly configured to hold a workpiece, a support arm pivotably coupled to the base about a miter axis extending perpendicular to the base, and a band saw moveable relative to the support arm and the base between a raised position and a lowered position for performing a cutting operation. The band saw has a housing defining an opening in which the workpiece is partially receivable, a motor, a first wheel supported by the housing for rotation about a first wheel axis, a second wheel supported by the housing for rotation about a second wheel axis, and a band saw blade. The miter axis is located within a reference plane oriented parallel to the first wheel axis and the second wheel axis. The reference plane extends through the opening when the band saw is in at least the lowered position.
