    blower for plasma/torch cfm??

    i realized having a water table setup with my design is out of order.. so im going to have suction system using blower not too sure whats its called..

    its for a 5'x10' table and i am planning on have 2 seperate suction area so 5 by 5 section and 5 by 5 section maybe just have one motor with a t setup or 2 motors



    Thanks

    You might look at having a hood over the cutting area...something you can raise and lower and attached to it would be something like the dust collectors used for home wood shops...something in the range of 600 to 1200 CFM. You could have the dust collector some distance away from your plasma table.

    i did considering putting a shop vac line or something right beside the torch/plasma but i think it might will affect the cutting quality? i dont mind having a scoop under like those torchmate or soemthing... and quite few big torch machines have those system.. so i guess those system works well?
