Getting a lot of fumes, need some troubleshooting advice.
So I've read through multiple threads on how people vent, and my current setup should be more than enough to not have fuming in my garage. Granted I have the HF 2HP dust collector, but it's rated at a high enough CFM that it should have no issues pulling fumes. Whether its acrylic or wood, we're getting heavy fume smells coming into the garage. I checked for leaks, and made a few adjustments which helped a little, but we're still getting fumes. When the extractor is running, you can see it drawing smoke, but it isn't as impressive as I think it should be.
Is it possible for fumes to be escaping the dust collector motor? Any other suggestions on what to check? I cleaned the extraction ports on the laser so I know that isn't an issue. I'm scratching my head.
Oh and for understanding, we vent directly outside.
