Thread: Air Flow with the Epilog Helix

    Air Flow with the Epilog Helix

    Hi All,

    I am expecting a Helix to show up in a week or two. I have an exhaust fan (660cfm's) that I'll hook up and plumb it to the outside. I have a fairly tightly sealed home that the machine will be running in and I think running the exhaust fan will mess with my oil furnace venting (like sucking in the fumes when the furnace is on). Does the Helix have an input air duct that I can vent to the outside? If not does anyone else have this problem and how did you solve it?

    I made an input duct for my Epilog, & during the winter months (Indiana) too much condensation was created. Sandy

    It is best to wait your Helix. My Helix machine 24 is connected to a DC-3XL Industries extractor Penn State and has no problems with the smoke coming out of my shop.

    I would be more concerned with it sucking heat from the house.
