I saved the Heating/ Airconditioning fan from my house unit when we had to replace the system (squirrel cage fan with motor)
Built a plywood box and sized the intake opening for household filters.

Works great, cost me very little, except the output is very strong and very narrow.
That works fine if you are in a fixed position, but moving around needs something to spread the output blast.

I was trying to paint in the garage and had the fan going to clear out the overspray. The filters clearly worked because after 2 sessions the filter was clogged up enough to suck it into the box enclosure.

Just a suggestion on how to save on a large volume fan.
