    Exhaust

    Dear All,
    i just bought a 75watt Epilog laser. But i don't have an exhaust fan. What do you guys have/recommend? I assume for the air assist i can use my pancake compressor which i use for my brad nailer? At 30 psi max or so?
    any help and recomendations are welcome.

    My bro has a ULS laser and uses one of these for exhaust and pipes it outside.

    I have my 80w WK Laser hooked up to my Delta dust collector in my shop. I have it set up so the laser exhausts outside.

    Not sure about the 30 lbs pressure for the air assist. That might be a little too much air but you can always back it down if it is.

    A guy over on this thread just rebuilt a ULS laser and talked about exhaust blowers.

    He made a good point about locating the blower outside if possible because any leaks will be on the lower pressure side and not put any toxic fumes into the shop.
