This may be so simple I'm overlooking something, but what do you all do to clear the air in your shop? My lathe/mill room is 11'X19' and when I get to cutting on either machine things can get pretty smoky in there. Typically I'll set up a fan to blow air out of the shop and another to blow in fresh air. But with this last winter being so cold that was a bit of a non-starter for getting stuff done.
I use the cutting oil with sulfur and I'm sure that doesn't help much. I have bought a bathroom vent fan but haven't installed it as it seems the vent fan in the house isn't all that effective. Just a weak negative pressure judging by the fog on the mirror after a shower. And then I don't want to install a vent fan over each machine, to blow into the bigger shop. What am I missing here?
I have hooked up a sump pump hose to my welding hood that runs outside air from a shaded pole blower over my face for welding projects. That helps a lot. Just can't figure an equivalent for the machines.
