Diode Laser Vent Blower

[CNC_rowdy]

Hey everybody here's a good question maybe somebody can answer. What have any of ya'll had good success with inline blower exhaust fans. I am looking for a small one with 4 inch by 4 inch on each end for standard Dreyer hoses. I had a cheap one from one of the big box stores, but it couldn't cut it. Right now this engraver is hooked up to a shop vac. It would probably work fine, but it sure is loud. Maybe somebody can post on this with what results ya'll have had with yours.

I bought their 6" version for my CO2 laser setup and it has worked great for 5 years.

You can add a switch with variable speed so you have better control of air flow.
