Stopped in today at Keim Lumber in Charm, Ohio http://www.keimlumber.com/
That place is a tool lovers dream. In the heart of Amish country. Wish I had a camera phone to show you but they had Bosch sliding compound miter saws that ran off of air power. They were not some rigged up thing. the motor looked made to fit the saw. The air fitting was like what we use in our shops but much larger. Even had an PSI air gage mounted to the saw. Wonder how big a compressor one would need to run that? The saw cost $1,400.00:eek:
This store is in such an unexpected place. No kidding you are on a gravel road with horse and buggy and 2 min later you come upon this place. Makes a Lowes or Home Depot look like a 7-11 connivance store.
