Default CFM for bead studio?

Does anyone know what the recommendation is for the airflow in a room with a torch? My husband is planning to install an exhaust system for me but we're not sure about the CFM. I assume too much will affect the torch flame. I'm just using a Hot Head. I've checked all the books I have and I'm not finding specific numbers.

Check out the safety section here. There are many factors in determining how many CFM you need depending on how directly the air is vented, how many turns in the ducting, what type of hood you are using, etc.

I thought I had mine figured out when I set it up but ended up with an extra bend that messed everything up. Luckily inline boosters are a cheap and easy fix if you don't get it perfect the first time.

Aye and too much is better than not enough, but you know that.

I have too much. I wish I had less from the standpoint of noise for sure but Phill is right...err on the side of caution.
