My experience of using lasers is limited but I can remember that the best solution was to obtain a laminar air flow across the whole work area with sufficient velocity that it drew all the fumes away before they could re-condense. I&#39;m not sure how that was obtained but I vaguely remember it needed a bigger fan to get a larger volume of fast air flow than was expected.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Dubbie</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=8699&AppID=75&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">https://community.element14.com/members-area/b/blog/posts/fume-extraction-for-my-laserMon, 10 Feb 2020 06:51:09 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:65ad063d-7c4d-4060-b40d-df8623e5d1dfjw07520<p>Hi Ralph,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It looks like a really nice modification and if it works as planned the filter saving will be great. I look forward to hearing how the burning wood test goes.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>John</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=8699&AppID=75&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
