swedefiddle Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Forge, Burner, Fan, Flue, Location, Other Tools. They have to match. Which one are you taking about? The Chicken or the Egg? :unsure: :unsure: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sometimes have to look beyond the first hit to find the answer you seek. You also need to decipher and understand the answers you find. Rephrase the question, and get a better answer. (Which air supply will work on your forge) Answer (Many will work). Depending on your forge, how large a fire you want, how much heat you want, and many other factors. You heating 1/4 inch stock or 4 inch stock, using coal, coke, charcoal and etc. Which of the two blowers you have listed is best for you? That is up to you to decide.

jukejoint Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Well went with the Dayton 2C647A blower motor easy install and if it didn't do what I wanted I wasn't out a arm and a leg (like I was trying to find a vintage electric blower),works great will need a air gate if not you could burn up a lot of coke, heated 1 in bar in no time tried to control the air flow by placing a cover over the intake side but didn't take it down much, unless your using a hand crank safe to assume you need a air gate thanks for the help folks time to heat sum iron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
