Would this be good for exhausting fumes produced by using a torch for jewelry making applications? And you can vent it to outside?

I would think if you had a flex duct over your work area and had the fan leading to an exterior wall at 400cfm it would vent the fumes. I used to work on circuit boards (soldering) while in the Navy and we had fans in the overhead with a flex duct on our workstations to vent the fumes outdoors. Being you are making jewelry I would think by putting a hood over your work area and as the fumes rise the fan would draw it out of the space.

I set mine up to draw fumes or hot air out of my garage. It fit perfectly into the opening of a roof vent. It is only max 400cfm so your volumetric flow is not high, but to move some fumes it works. I found paint spray vapor deposited on my fan blades so it does work somewhat ok. But it is not sealed, spark proof or waterproof so think about your application carefully & be sure you are not creating a hazard

In principle yes however these are very low volume . the object is to move the warm air and not cool it down over the distance. You are going to need a faster fan to do what you need.

The outflow from the can is visible, but it comes out at a fairly high rate and disperses quickly. You would probably be better off using the smoke from a candle.

Not recommended as you would be able to smell fumes. Garage works great as it is somewhat vented

It works great for sound deadening. I used it to make a sound baffle for a 6" exhaust fan for a growroom. It was really loud before, after the baffle was installed it was so quite you can't even hear it. As long as there are no overheating issue and ventilation it should work good.

Yes, as long as you keep an eye on it like any flame source. I would keep the garage door open though. I have used mine on my covered deck.

It would be hard to use this to vent a booth because there is no intake. It would just blow the fumes around.

I would think the tool is too 'light' weight for that type of function. Never tried it for that. If it starts to smell, shut it off.

I've only done electronics soldering next to this thing. It --slowly-- draws in the smoke/fumes from the flux quite well and the filter seems to absorb them well. You do have to keep your work close to the unit - and I think that's why it does a slow convection - so it doesn't cool off your work. I like it because I don't like to wear little masks because they fog up any glasses that I wear. To be honest, I'm not sure how it would do around welding. I would think that if you're generating lots of sparks then there might be an issue with how close you can get the unit to your work without blasting it with cast-off and melting the filter or pitting the plastic housing. But, if you're talking about brazing - then I think it'll do the job. The housing is plastic, not metal, so it might be a concern around any sparking cast off. However - if you are doing any soldering - then this is a great unit - and you might just get it for that and then try it out next to your welding jobs.

I wouldn't as the heat would make it smokey, but if that downt bother you it would be ok. I do use it on the outside of newly purchased used cast itron as I like to be sure it has a good finish. It is a personal thing. Joan Anderson

I have been using it for months & haven't had trouble igniting it. I use it to make jewelry. With the tips off its a torch. You may be able to ignite with a lighter or striker, personally I would be afraid it would explode. I probably would get a new one if the auto igniter quit.

Yes, I have used mine for that purpose. Just watch that the wind does not blow out the flame so keep an eye on it. I put a metal wind screen against mine if it's a little breezy . It will simmer !

Probably but don't recommend as it should be used with PLENTY OF VENTILATION. These fumes are toxic. I spray outdoors when I use it.

ALL these products have some off-gassing of potentially harmful VOCs while they are curing. Your best bet is to work in a well ventilated area preferrably where you can put a fan in the window to exhaust outside and keep it running for at least the next 12 hours.

I personally would never use it for camping or backing packing. The item is intended for use with lapidary, casting, and other environments where you need a continuous low temp flame. It will leak if you were to try and travel with it full of fuel. I suppose you could use it as an emergency lamp in your home and it would serve well for that.

I use mine to exhaust hot air from inside, the problem wound be above their high, unless you have scenes and then it's not a problem. Hope this helps, good luck..I love mine!

Can't say I make much use of the fume extractor, but I don't use the unit that often anymore. If you're doing extensive soldering work then it may be worthwhile. The suction air comes out of the hot air wand. Remove the tip from that wand to get maximum air flow for suction. I suppose you could connect a hose to the wand that goes outside. You would want to keep the HOT AIR switch off if you do this this, even though hot air heating does stop whenever the wand is in the holder.

Absolutely. In fact, it puts out so much smoke it works very well outside. If you want to stay low to the ground when it's warm out there are some online tricks to cooling the smoke as it comes out.
