Today I connected a 5hp dust collection motor to my Rabbit laser to be used for smoke extraction.
First I had to enlarge the factory exhaust hole in the laser cabinet from 6in to 8in. Four foot of 8inch pipe and 4 elbows later and I am ready to test the new exhaust system out.
I tossed a 12 x 18 inch piece of warped 3mill Baltic birch on the 23 x 33 cutting bed and flip on the blower motor, Wow the birch straightened right out. I have so much suction now that I can hardly open the lid with the blower motor on.
Now I am a little worried that I may have too much suction.
