Paul; Good for you! The machine tool trades are one of the most honorable trades out there,
You can work your entire life at it and never know it all. I worked as an apprentice and on into journeyman and loved it! KUDOS to you.

Yes, I learn something new every day. I just wish it was one of the better paying trades  People don't realize that without machinist's they wouldn't have much as far as modern day things go. You wouldn't belive how many people think they repair cars. Not that there is anything wrong with mechanics. P. |

PM,
I was just looking into doing something very similar with a bathroom fan. Instead of a plastic bin, I was going to use a plywood box/booth that put together. Anything to look out for in the construction process?
What is the CFM on that fan (Broan 683?)? Working out pretty well?
Your plug holder is a nice looking tool.
My father in law was a machinist. He retired/was laid off when his company was sold and they took the cost cutting measures to compete with the Chinese labor market. The precision from his work really carries over into everything he does.

Am I really talking to Jack Nicklaus. I used the plastic tub because it was easier than sawing the wood and then putting it together. The fan works good. It is a 683. I have a short run to the window so that helps and quiet too. I changed the fan over to a 4 inch exhaust too. Made my own adapter out of thin alum. sheet.. Very simple set up. If you screw it up you just go buy another $10 tub and start again. Machinist's are too damn fussy, believe me I know  . Paul |

Thanks PM.
It looks easy enough. The 80 CFM is enough?

The fan seems ok so far. I am only going maybe 4 feet to the window. Maybe a greater distance you would need more power. Something to consider though. Maybe someone else will chime in on the power of their exhaust fan to lengh of exhaust hose. P.

I'll give this a go.
I placed the spray booth on a Craftsman tool cabinet. This allows me to move it out of the way when it is not being used.
I put an 80 cfm exhaust fan in the back of a 4" plenum behind the filter. If it does not do the job I will put another fan right beside it.
All my paint and airbrush supplies can be stored in the cabinet.

Sorry!
The booth itself has a plexiglass visor across the top of the opening so I can see with no obstructions.

BTW; I did not build the booth itself. I traded plugs to a cabinet maker friend here on the boards.
While I am into this I will post a couple pics of my shop! Thanks for looking.

Exhaust fans are meant to pull not push. If the distance increases to where you are not getting a good "pull" move the fan to the outlet and just hook the hose up to the booth! |
