Exhaust Fan and Fume Control

Slideshow

Previous Image | Next Image

Description: I devised this set up to fit in the garage window just above my work bench. It is a 1,600 CFM Gable mount attic fan.
110 Volt - 140 watts if I remember correctly. The blades are well recessed, but I am working on a safety guard to be extra safe. Works great; moves MAJOR air -- right where I need it. Sucks the fumes right out. I got lucky in that the height of the fan is almost the perfect height for maximum fume clearing. I position the pyrex cup on the work bench directly in front of the fan when stirring or injecting.

A bit of "white noise" as well. Right off the top of the bench I would say it pulls 8 - 10 inches per second; or so.

I have my stuff in a 10'x10' shed. I like your set up, very nice. I will try to post a pic of my shop this weekend.
