    Need more suction for your DC?

    A typical day cruising CL found this beast. So what would you do with 7000 cfm? I think that might just suck all the paint off the walls of my little shop...

          I don't think I could sneak that past my wife and into the shop. She'd at least ask questions when the electric co-op had to bring three phase power to the house.

                  The photo name is squirrel cage fan. I don't think I ever want to see a Texas squirrel.
