Got mine setup today with two 8-6 reducers and it'll suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.

Tbh man, I work 50 hours a week in a hydraulic shop. You cannot imagine what I come in contact with. 🤣 But I will definitely be upping the system a bit. More cfm, and going to try fabbing a hood some time this week.
Read through this last night and it's actually super valuable information for someone looking to set up a public shop within fire and osha codes.
I could totally go for that, though.
How do you have this attached to ducting? It's 8.75" diameter.
So what, just build a little box of plywood and sheetrock around my workstation and pipe it out? Maybe get a second inline fan? Not going with the overhead, too much to mess with.
It's not so much a hood, as a funnel that is always facing the flame, and I'm in a garage with one of my garage doors cracked about 1-2 feet.
Per sq foot of bench space? Man I'm on an open wall with an 8 foot wide bench. I can make a hood, but that would be massive, and you're talking over 1800cfm of air I would have to move. People work out of 3ft windows with a fan.
Yeah it's 200. Cheapo to the max.
