Alright y'all, I need some help with the project I'm working on, my finishing room/metalworking shop. This room was used as a spray booth when the shop was a cabinet shop back in the day (check out the last picture) and, because of that, there's already a 24" hole punched through the ceiling up into the attic then a shuttered exhaust going out the side.
I've been looking at tube axial fans (cookmfg.com/product/tube-axial-fan/) but I've got a few concerns. First, they're REALLY expensive, especially when you factor in the required ductwork (well over $2,000 after shipping). Second, I'm worried a fan that powerful might be too much for my needs, which is really just exhaust when I'm spraying finishes or welding.
Do any of y'all have a similar setup? If so, I'd love to hear what kind of fan you're using and what you think of it. Unfortunately, there's not much in my area (Asheville, NC) in the used market. If any of you have a fan you're looking to sell, let me know!
