I agree with Tom....if you can design the system with water approx 6 to 12 inches below the top of the slats.....and pull a downdraft with your blower from above the water...then you will have a good system. Depending on what you are cutting....as much as 60% of the particles will be captured by the water....which makes taking care of the remaining 40% or so much easier.
Don't put a hood over the machine to pull the fumes upward.....you will simply be pulling all of that abrasive dust over the moving parts of your machine. Too many people have updraft systems with plasma....what a mess!
