Any recommendations for an exhaust blower for an Epilog mini 35? I'm setting up the area for the used one I purchased to go in and it did not come with an exhaust system. It will be butted up against the wall of my shop and will be exhausted directly out the wall behind it. So just looking for a cost effective blower that will go right in line with it and blow it out all of about 10 inches through the tube.

Preferably a 110 outlet but I can run 220 if need be, I just have to re run some wiring to do so but would rather not.

Didn't know if something like this would work:

Thanks in advance.

Probably OK, but here are several more shown that have a higher cfm rating. 110vs 190. I'd want more than 110...

There are dozens of threads dealing with blowers and set ups. I'd suggest doing a search. You'll get more than an evening of reading.

Simple answer - Harbor Freight green

Thanks guys,

John, I was also looking at the others. I didn't know how much CFM I would need, would definitely go the 190 route if that would do it.

Mike I did do a search and found my fair share and no 2 opinions alike LOL. Was hoping to simplify and get some suggestions from someone with the same unit maybe.

Bruce, are you talking about the 1HP unit? I was thinking about that but really bulky for where I wanted to put it.

Ahh, I finally found the page in the manual that suggests the CFM range of 350 to 400. I guess harbor Freight green it is.

Mine was recommended at 400 cfm, and I bought it from Grainger. Going on year 13 now, made by Fantech.

I have 2 green and 1 large green HF blowers- had 4 but the motor bearing started squealing last year- it was 14 years old. It was just easier to replace it! The big one and the other older one are now the same age as my LS900, 13 years old. They run probably 10 hours a day average... good bang for the buck- and FWIW I put a Killawatt meter on them just last week, the green ones use about 390 watts, which is about 100 less than I expected :)
