I bought a squirrel cage fan from the HVAC graveyard...behind one of our local heating and air conditioning shops. He charged us $45.00 for it. We cleaned it up and then hubby rewired it with a swamp cooler switch so I have three speeds on it.

You can see pics of it and how hubby set it up in my very old "horse trailer thread" in the studio forum". (Just type horse trailer into the search box)

We no longer have the trailer and are setting up a new studio where it will be on the outside of the building 8" smooth ducted in.

The lowest speed is around 1100 CFM, it is perfect, the highest is almost too high around 2300 I think, and I use it for the really bad stuff, fuming, silver leaf etc.

It is very loud in the shop. Outside is much better.

Hope this helps:waving
