Glasscraft recommends this fan for torches like my Lynx. Don't know if you're using a big boro torch this might not work for ya. I use the lowest setting because I have it sitting right in front of my torch and it seems to do a great job.

Hope this is helpful.

IF you are using DUCT BOOSTER FANS, use the "Free Air CFM" rating... Typically it's about 1/2 the actual "Max Boosted CFM" and since one is NOT using it as a booster fan then the free air value is appropriate valuse to use...

This is what got Glasscraft in a bind because the were advertising their big hoods as 640cfm hood and only had a free air fan rating of about 300 cfm (Suncourt 210)... Now I see they only sell big hood without a fan....And this has nothing to do with Glasscraft and I don't know these people and have not had business dealing with them, this is just BUYER BE AWARE message...
