I've never seen an air drill with enough guts to turn a malt mill. An air ratchet might do it, but that's an awfully inefficient way to turn a mill. LOTS of air volume required.
Why would you think it wouldn't Aren't they just like regular drills except powered by a compressor?
That answers my next question, I wondered if they had enough torque or not.
I guess I stand corrected. If you have one of those heavy duty 1/2 horse drills, it may get the job done. I still think it's a very inefficient (and loud) way of powering your mill.
Not to mention they usually run a higher rpm
