What should be noted about running a fume extractor with a fiber laser?

When running a fume extractor with a fiber laser, I learned that having it on too high of a setting actually shortens your fume extractor’s filter life span. I recommend testing your suction and setting it to the lowest power setting that still captures all the fumes. When set too high, I noticed that my filters were being clogged by large debris and needed changing more frequently.
