Hi Everyone!
It's been ages since I've been around and hope all is well with UKWorkshop and it's members!
I am really excited as this week I'm finally ordering (and hopefully getting!) my HVLP unit.
In preparation for this I was thinking of buying a portable blower/ventilator like this one:

I work in a front room of the house (until I build a garden workshop next year) and until then I'm thinking of using this for two main things:
1. To extract air while sawing, sanding, routing etc (in addition to at tool extraction)
2. To extract air and smells while spraying.
I know it's not ATEX rated and won't be using this with catalysed lacquers etc (although I've seen posts of decorators respraying kitchens in customers houses using AC lacquers and these same units :shock: ).
Before I splash out on this I was wondering if you thought it would be suitable for the above uses? Also, whether I could place a filter in front of the unit to pic up any wet mist (while spraying) to protect the machine (if so any recommendations gratefully received!!!). Do they do odour/fume filters too?
Looking forwards, I was wondering if I could use this as the fan/motor to run a small ducting system in my garden workshop something along these lines:
12" to 4" ducting - 4" cyclone - 4" ports on planer, thicknesser, etc? I'd exhaust to the outside so might be able to get away without any fine dust filters??? It's just that on spec it seems to move much more air than a lot of the chip collectors I've seen on the Axminster site.
As always, many thanks for all your help and advice...

PS - I've read the posts on dust collection/extraction and that's what made me wonder if these could be used with the ducting, dust separation advice given there when I hopefully get my workshop built?
