Ok, so...In case anyone is looking for an exhaust fan or exhaust blower and having trouble finding something...i just realized that the correct search term is: dust collector (at least at harbor freight).
More importantly, i cant decide which "dust collector" to get. I plan to engrave a lot of acrylic, last time i did that it was very smelly. I'm going to put the exhaust through a window and have the blower live outside (with my air assist compressor) so that i can cut down on the noise. But which blower? The "13 Gallon Industrial Portable Dust Collector" (
http://www.harborfreight.com/13-gallon- ... 31810.html) seems nice enough at 660cfm for $119, but for only $70 more i can get the "2 HP Industrial 5 Micron Dust Collector" (
http://www.harborfreight.com/2-hp-indus ... 97869.html) which is rated at 1550 CFM and has a fancy "5 micron" collector bag.
Here is the question, would 1550 CFM create TOO MUCH air flow? would it make it difficult or impossible to cut paper / card-stock (would they just get sucked up?) ?
Also would something like this:

Thanks in advance for your help!
