Nonsense! There are hundreds of applications where a straight air cylinder is the best option. If you can't think of any, consider buying the 3-volume series "Industrial Fluid Power" by Womack Publishing (Volume 2 has several chapters related exclusively to air).

Pneumatic means "filled with or containing air or a gas". It has nothing to do with oil.

Thanks... Your right. I had to stop and look look that up.
For years that's what I believed that It was only called pneumatic.
Looking it up I see it's called pneumatic hydraulic.
I worked mostly in the textile trade and most everything we
used oil over air. Some very small cylinders was only air on things
like sewing machines. Just playing around I blew the ends right
off long cylinders by putting just air into them. I see another word
for air over oil is Pneumohydraulic .
I learn something new here everyday.

Thanks again.

Sorry to revive this thread but has anyone implemented this one man layout? The setup looks awesome and I'm looking into implementing it as soon as I expand the floor space of the sawmill shed. I'm just looking for real world experience with it.
cheers

Yeah - I'm still acquiring some of the equipment necessary and will hopefully have a pretty close approximation of the woodmizer setup by the end of the year.
