This morning, I got the "Wood Staff" email. They included a report from the National Hardware Show. There were a number of new and prototype tools featured in the Wood report. Including hydrogen powered tools that need no electricity.
I was facinated by the SawCam miter saw from GMC.
This is the Wood writer's description:
"GMC also launched a new sliding mitersaw (10 and 12 inch models) with a built-in TV screen. The Sawcam mitersaw features a small viewing screen above the handle and switch that allows the user to see the cutline at varying levels of magnification. This should help users to make more accurate cuts and keep their hands clear of the blade. (The camera is mounted just below the pivot bolt.) These dual-bevel mitersaws feature motors mounted at a 45° angle next to the arbor shaft, powered by bevel gears that produce the same rpms you get from a standard shaft-driven mitersaw and do away with the belt-driven, top-mounted motors. These saws will be out this fall and should sell for between $350 and $400."
