Many people assume a fume extractor can also function as a vacuum cleaner — but that’s a common misconception. In this Eleshop video, we take a closer look at how fume extractors work, when they are the right tool for the job, and when they are not.
We explain the role of each internal filter (pre-filter, HEPA, and activated carbon), highlight why fume extractors are ideal for soldering, and clarify why they are unsuitable for dust-heavy applications such as laser cutting or engraving.
