hi all.
So I've been running this around in my head for a few months now, trying to figure out the best way to build a large downdraft table, mine is going to be 8x4.
I would like to have the suction follow the torch, rather than just have one large sink with a giant fan on the end sucking air out.
That will cost too much electricity - the supply to my shed cuts out if I overload it.
The plasma itself drains a lot, and the compressor is also very heavy drain, so i would rather be clever about it and use a smaller fan, but localised.
One thing about this is, that any of the manufacturers that make these, arent going to share they're designs online.
I read on they're website that one of the larger swift-cut machines has a segmented down-draft setup, however it gives no details.
I'm looking for clues basically, ideas. Not just on 'segmented' configuration, but indeed any clever way of doing it.
Any and all info appreciated.
