One of the most expensive and mysterious parts of a forced air forge is the forge blower. Not just any blower will do the job and buying a professional forge blower is pretty expensive, especially for a beginner. To work properly on a good sized forge a blower should be rated at 100 to 150 cfm and from 32 to 40 ounces of static pressure. That last part is the killer because almost nobody puts the pressure rating on their blowers.Ron's Forge Page
