Coop and Run and Done!

[aart]

I was misled by "barn" being in the product description. However, I've had one of these as part of my wood shop exhaust for a long time now, because it was the perfect size. It's not my home shop, it's my furniture business, so it gets a lot of use around saws. I figure if it can hold up in that scenario, it'll hold up in my coop. Thanks for looking out, though. One of the reasons I like this forum so much.

Do you have a dust collection system on your saws, sanders, etc?

The newer ones, yes. Some of the equipment is 50 years old, some of my dad's original business purchases, so they don't. We use these fans, with a filter in front, to collect into a large dust bin. Oh crap, I didn't have the filter in place on my coop pictures. I had it off to replace when I took the pictures. I'll edit the pictures, and message the OP about the filter. It's basically a cabin air filter that fits in front of the fan.

Filter can help a lot, keep the dust from gathering in the motor,
which is where a fire might start.
I run my fan blowing into the coop to reduce dust gathering on fan.
