Dave my personal reason is I have worked in a machine shop for nearly 30 years and have probably breathed in way too much crap into my lungs. I look at the exhaust fans at work and think holy crap imagine what my lungs look like. I don't need or want any additional pollutants, no matter how safe they say they are. Like Dave above said better safe than sorry. Paul

Paul; Good for you! The machine tool trades are one of the most honorable trades out there,
You can work your entire life at it and never know it all. I worked as an apprentice and on into journeyman and loved it! KUDOS to you.

Yes, I learn something new every day. I just wish it was one of the better paying trades  People don't realize that without machinist's they wouldn't have much as far as modern day things go. You wouldn't belive how many people think they repair cars. Not that there is anything wrong with mechanics. P. |

PM,
I was just looking into doing something very similar with a bathroom fan. Instead of a plastic bin, I was going to use a plywood box/booth that put together. Anything to look out for in the construction process?
What is the CFM on that fan (Broan 683?)? Working out pretty well?
Your plug holder is a nice looking tool.
My father in law was a machinist. He retired/was laid off when his company was sold and they took the cost cutting measures to compete with the Chinese labor market. The precision from his work really carries over into everything he does.

Am I really talking to Jack Nicklaus. I used the plastic tub because it was easier than sawing the wood and then putting it together. The fan works good. It is a 683. I have a short run to the window so that helps and quiet too. I changed the fan over to a 4 inch exhaust too. Made my own adapter out of thin alum. sheet.. Very simple set up. If you screw it up you just go buy another $10 tub and start again. Machinist's are too damn fussy, believe me I know  . Paul |

Thanks PM.
It looks easy enough. The 80 CFM is enough?
No, I'm not Jack, but I am a transplanted CAL Golden Bear.

The fan seems ok so far. I am only going maybe 4 feet to the window. Maybe a greater distance you would need more power. Something to consider though. Maybe someone else will chime in on the power of their exhaust fan to lengh of exhaust hose. P.

Exhaust fans are meant to pull not push. If the distance increases to where you are not getting a good "pull" move the fan to the outlet and just hook the hose up to the booth! |
