110V 250W US Style Electric Blacksmith Forge Blower Blacksmithing Coal Forge Fan air Blower Tools with 125CFM

I’m using this for a waste oil burning stove. It is way overpowered even closed, the closed cover does not stop the air movement. It blows a lot of cfm. It is fairly quiet. It works well for what I’m doing with it, I had to change my burner pot design to accommodate the volume of air that this thing moves. It is a cheap Chinese motor and casting. The quality control seems awful, but for the price you aren’t going to get any other squirrel cage blower this size. Unable to use a speed potentiometer to speed control it so if you are after that, this motor will not support it. If you are using it for a forge or a waste oil burner it will definitely move the air you need and some.

Nothing to dislike about this blower so far its somewhat adjustable its compact fairly quiet and it works with my variable speed control so I can turn the air down pretty low and not blow fuel out of the fire box so far really happy will probably buy another in the future for a gas forge

I like this blower. I’m using it to drive a 27 jet ribbon burner. The body is cast aluminum with a aluminum blade. Although the switch is a cheap one, I have it paired with a speed controller so it’s of no matter. The housing halves mate nicely and the blade runs smoothly. The blade has obvious balancing drill marks, they took time to balance it. The 2.5” outlet will acccept a 2” pipe internally with a single wrap of duct tape as a gasket. It is quite, much more so than a hair dryer an though I hanvent measured I’d ballpark it in the 45-50db range. It’s quieter then my microwave fan on high. I’m knockong off a star for the cheap switch but I’d imagine most people are just cutting power vs flipping the switch anyway. The output is substantial, it will dump a fire pot at full tilt. I’m running a 27 jet ribbon burner and I never go above half speed, which is why I’m going with a gate valve over a speed controller. The fan does work with it but I don’t like how it operates, not very smooth or consistent in adjustment. Overall I’m pleased with this blower. It performs very well and has plenty of CFM while remaining quiet and pleasing to the eye.

I question the CFM on this being accurate but it very well could be spot on. Works well, but I am not exactly familiar with what a specific cfm would feel like in front of such a large pipe face. I bet you this thing works better with a bit of back pressure. Time will tell. It also seems to work okay with the adjustable power supply I bought for it. Goes all the way down to a spin you can almost count the RPM with your eyes, so I’ll easily be able to use this in a forced air melting furnace

I use to have a fan to force air into a charcoal fired foundry, which gave up the ghost. Got everything together to use this fan, and it got the fire hotter than the old fan ever did. Very impressed with melting the aluminum with this fan and charcoal. I think it could melt higher temperature metals than aluminum with charcoal. Well worth the price, and easy to install, because of the way it is made.

I was setting up a beginning forge setup, and knew I'd need a lot of air due to my fuel (anthracite) so bought this. Well, it definitely puts out enough air. I bought a variable speed switch to go with it and even at the lowest setting it's pretty intense - when properly set up even the lowest speed gets the forge up to welding temps pretty easily. I switched to charcoal fuel when I was able to get some for free and it was WAY too much. If you're using this blower I highly suggest a proper valve setup to be able to precisely control your airflow.

This blower is awesome so far. I have a 4.5 inch deep firepit and burn bituminous coal. My god the gates of hell are in my forge now. The body does feel a bit chincy maybe and some of the components are a bit lightweight but for the money I dont feel the least bit jipped. Get a rheostat and an airgate you will need both. Also dont forget to make a dripper can if you are burning coal... unless you enjoy attempting to forge on 3-4 foot flames. I will update on the quality in a few months.

Quiet, powerful, decently built and balanced. 2.5" is a strange diameter for piping. I designed adapters adapt this to various pipe sizes. Seems expensive for what it is, but you can't get blowers like this for less than this. It's an expensive product type

I use this blower on my forced air propane forge. It works quite well and I can easily get to welding temperature with a single ribbon burner. Easy to adapt to the black piped burner. I only have 20 hours or so on it at this point so time will tell if it lasts. So far, so good though.

Fácil de usar y buen equipo

Great product

So far this has worked well. I haven’t used it for too long yet. But it seems to move a lot of air. I’m using it on a homemade maple syrup arch to supply air to fire box

It is a good blower for the price, It just too small for my need.
