Band saw

A band saw comprising:

• a housing including a handle configured to be grasped by a user during a cutting operation;
• a motor supported by the housing, the motor including
• an outer rotor, and
• an inner stator at least partially received within and surrounded by the outer rotor;
• a drive wheel assembly rotationally driven by the motor, the drive wheel assembly including a drive wheel and a driven wheel;
• an opening defined within the housing and located between the drive wheel and the driven wheel;
• an endless saw blade driven by the drive wheel assembly and configured to pass through the opening to cut a workpiece during the cutting operation;
• and
• a transmission assembly having an input member for receiving torque from the motor and an output member for transmitting torque to the drive wheel about a drive wheel axis,
• wherein the transmission assembly includes at least one cycloidal gear stage.
