Yep! I use this one. I considered the one you linked, but got the metal one simply because it was cheaper at the time. Both would get the job done.
I have it connected to my k40 via 4" dryer hose and this flange hose fitting which fits perfectly in the slot on the back of the k40.
Used these clamps to secure the dryer tubing together.
As far as how well it works, I'm pretty satisfied. I have the exhaust blowing out a 4" fitting attached to a board I close in my window. I smell a little bit of burnt wood when cutting, but it's very minute. Almost all smoke goes out the window. The suction is very good, if I'm cutting card stock it occasionally sucks the small paper pieces right off the cutting bed. When I'm doing laser alignments, it almost completely eliminates the smell of burning masking tape during test firing even with the door open.
I use a 6" duct inline blower with a vent to the roof.
On the laser itself I have a rectangular to 4" adapter that slots right into the back of the laser (sealed up with aluminum tape), a 4" flex hose, and a 6" to 4" reducer to connect to the blower.
> Why would it need to be grounded? The sensor is either some sort of thermocouple or a thermistor. Either way there are only two wires.
It's an automotive one and he only hooked up 1 wire. engines are grounded, that would complete the other 1/2. This is screwed into a bucket so there is no ground.
As for the ducting, I picked up a 4"-3" adapter from homedepot. i knew the od was 5" i was able to stretch it over the opening... the existing ducting fit inside with no problems.
I've read this works on the back and will attach it to back of the k40 when it gets in.
