Hi, ALl, I was wondering whether anyone is familiar with air-
filtration/fume hood type systems suitble for a very small in-home
glassworking bench. Best would be somehting that coudl be lifted onto the
working surface during soldering/grinding (tho' I intend to do most of my
grinding outside, as I have a covered porch), then lifted off and moved
when I'm wither scoring glass, or using the table for some other purpose.

TIA!

- Kris

Hakko makes a good fume trap and if you have a way to vent the air
outside you could juririg a stove top exhaust. It's the fumes from the
flux that you need to vent away not from grinding unless you are
grinding dry.

Thanks, I'm looking up their info :)

((I'm trying to decide whether I should go for a fume hood or fume
collector, or whether I could get away with turning my Miele on and wiring
the nozzle to the desk (it has a HEPA filter and I can get either super-
filter bags, or HEPA bags for "double filtering"), or whether I should get
a window fan (pointed outdoors) and rig up a duct. Or maybe just get a
small folding table and chair and do it outside before the day heats up too
much ;) ))

I have 15 or so Honeywell HEPA air cleaners all over my 2500 sqft
shop. I got 6 from this guy a few monthsb ago. The price is cheaper
than buying replacement filters

15? Geez, your shop must be in a cave! I have about 2200 shop and have
one overhead extractor exhaust in my work area that moves over 800 cfm.
