Hi Creekers,

This is the second question I’ve asked as I try to strategize and plan for a laser purchase. My main concern now is how/where to set-up. After researching, I’ve learned the question of ventilation/exhaust has been discussed ad nauseam. But I haven’t found this addressed - I have a covered patio that I could easily wheel a laser and exhaust in and out of. I realize its not an ideal situation, but lack options outside of borrowing a space from friends.

So, I am curious if anyone has experience or advice for operating in a controlled, open-air/outdoor environment? Or is this just a bad idea?

I should also mention that noise/neighbors are not an issue and it’d only be setup a couple times a week as a hobby machine for cutting and engraving ply and other woods. Thanks in advance!
