That is cool, how much did it cost you. I need one as a gable fan. More to control heat than dust.

This one is explosion proof----I am getting funny about safety.
With the speed controler (which was Extra) just under $300.00.
It's a real nice unit-----alum. construction.

That should do the trick, of course you may have to hold on to your hat!
Gary, nice to see you got your finishing station up and running. Looks like I'll have to make a trip down and see how great it works.

Gary that looks like it would work but you will probably need to add some filters in front of it to keep the overspray from clogging the motor and blades.

I like it Gary but i would think you should move the swith from the wall to another location. to keep the spark chance down.

With the variable speed control, you can set up a couple "walls" by using shower curtains. Side them out when needed and tied back against the wall(s) when not. This will help contain the over spray and allow the fan to move most of it out before it floats throughout the shop. The heavier the curtain the better and you can also weight the bottoms to keep them from getting pulled along with the draft. I have seen automotive spray booths set up this way and they work quite well at controlling over spray.
As mentioned, you should add filters not only to protect the motor but also so your not simply dumping the spent medium outside. And also, it is not a
big issue as of yet, but with the EPA's new NESHAP law concerning body shops (and thusly home auto body projects), it won't be long before any and all home spraying operations which atomize with pressure any type of VOC materials will become regulated too. At least rattle cans are safe!! For now!!!!!!
