Exhaust Blower idea

[SScnc]

I've been looking for a good (and inexpensive) exhaust blower for a long time as the original is pretty much USELESS. I was at a friends house recently and he rented one of those air bounce houses for his kids and I saw the blower that keeps it inflated and thought that would be perfect.

So I found one on ebay for $42. free shipping and got it. Hooked it up yesterday and it works better than I hoped and it's pretty quiet considering how much air it moves. I test engraved a piece of pine deep on max power and I didn't even smell it in the shop, it was blasting smoke away 10 feet outside the shop !

Here's some pics, maybe some will find it helpful....

Here's another one on ebay now, http://www.ebay.com/itm/HUA-WEI-MODEL-W ... 1c2f6affe4 I added those white PVC 4" adapters to the blower, got them at home depot for like 2 bucks each.

Teac, I had 2 of those PC fans running into a 4" pipe and sealed well and it was definitely not enough flow for me, smoke and fumes would still get inside. I can cut and engrave acrylic all day now and never smell the fumes with this blower running.

Hi there
I am using a 6 inch inline 500CFM blower from hydrophonic ( $85 on ebay)reduce both sides to 4 inch and it pulls out everythings.
I even had to add a screnn in front of the intake on the table or it would suck out little pieces during cutting.

Hi Walt,

Right, I need to add a filter to keep small parts from being pulled into the blower too. I was looking at another of your posts that show some of your work, very nice, do you have more pictures of the items you produce ?
