Will we ever get to control our air flow either through the GFUI or a physical fan speed knob or dampers on the forge?
When I cut paper, there’s almost no smoke but the tornado creates problems. I use as many tiny magnets as I can they can’t hold down thin pieces that cut loose. My current method is to slide a piece of thin cardboard cut to the size of the air intake and to reduce the cat 4 hurricane, it does work well but I wonder if it puts a big strain on the fan motor. It would be better to divert the air or better yet to have a variable speed motor and a simple knob.
Another method would be to create the air flow from top to bottom rather than the ‘current’ right to left. I saw that this subject was talked about back in October 2016 and there’s no results so I wanted to bump it and see how the wish hopper is going.
Thanks,

Folks have had good luck using a Seklema mat for cutting paper and other lightweight materials. It’s sticky and holds the paper down through the tornado. 
By the way, you will damage your exhaust fan if flaming bits of paper and masking go flying into it, so use a mat. They tend to stick to the fan and knock it out of balance.
Fan control. The (seemingly) impossible dream. Sigh.
Krylon Repositionable adhesive spray + baltic birch plywood is my solution.
Spray the plywood from two different angles (so, two spray passes), apply paper, cut. Weed using a tool (ie., not just my fingers)
Cheaper than the Seklema, but then again I don’t cut enough paper to make the investment worthwhile. If I were doing paper all the time, then it’d be more cost-effective to buy the special mat.
I use Home Depot tempered chipboard. Very smooth and very cheap.
Any one thought of using spray adhesive on glass ?
Sounds a bit frightening, but when you consider all the peeps that are ‘engraving’ glass, why not ?
Flat, cheap because it will last till you drop it !

Thank you all for the suggestions and advice!
I’ve noted this request and am going to make sure the team notes it was brought up again here.
