Hey y'all. My wife got a new vaccum cleaner this week and I took it upon myself to claim the old one to use as a fume extractor in the garage. I'm pretty sure it has a hepa filter in it, and it has the hose that I'm sure I could make stay where I want it to. I'm pretty excited to try it out with my next job.
This got me to wondering if y'all have fume extraction solutions in your own shops.
General welding questions that dont fit in TIG, MIG, Stick, or Certification etc.

I fell into an AirFlow Systems MiniVac extractor/filter unit at work, when we bought a new building and it was left behind by some prior tenant. Otherwise, couldn't justify the expense as an amateur, hobbyist welder.
I've seen a couple of people talk about them, and remember one of Jody's videos talking about down-draft table fume extraction.
