Does anybody has made some efforts to reduce fumes?..from cutting?
It’s essential to remove the fumes is the best way you can. My cheap laser come with the big plastic fan that doesn’t really fit. I am going to modify this with an inline fan inside a four inch pipe
A lot of people in this group have modified their exhaust system with different fans/blowers, venting through clothes dryer vents, or special panels made to fit windows, or other methods.
Myself, I am still using the stock exhaust fan but I have extended the exhaust hose to outside my house (I work in garage, so I go out under the roller-door).
Look at the bilge fans on ebay. For $25 you can move a lot of exhaust fumes.
I tried lots of stuff and finally bit the bullet got a 450 cfm fan off amazon, a nozzle pump (HF), and modified my K40 exhaust using Lowes floor ducts, screwed to the back. I vented a 4 " pipe to an outside window. I am more than satisfied. My cutting is stellar and my unit is in my upstairs makershed with no fumes in the house. My advice is don’t undersize the evacuation system.
@donkjr Thank you for your advice. Can I see pics? please!
How the heck do I attach a picture?
@donkjr You technically cannot attach pictures to replies. Unless you upload to Google Drive/Dropbox/image hosting & paste the link to the file. Other option is to create a new post & tag whoever it is for in it.
