I Forge Iron

Recommended Posts

I'm just getting started building a coal forge and I have found a blower, the motor is 60w, airflow 176 c meter/h or 103cfm and finally the pressure is 280 pascal. What I want to know is will this fan be suitable, the firepot measures 6inx8in by 5.5in deep made from 3/8in or 10mm plate steel. Also will 3/16in (4mm) be thick enough for the table which will measure 2ftx3ft.

Thanks in advance

The table just needs to be strong enough to hold whatever weight you put on it. I'm sure it will be strong enough to hold the firepot, fuel, and any tools.  I would be more concerned with bracing the legs of the table. Expanded metal makes good bracing to stiffen the legs and doubles as a shelf. 

The blower should work fine.
