Sorry for bringing the topic up again - I assure you that I searched the forum extensively.
I am building an air scrubber for my epilog mini 24 per Dan Hitz' and George Brown's notes and am looking for a solid blower. We currently use an LM508 air purifier unit but the filters for it cost $700 to replace. With acrylic and wood cutting this is just way expensive. They have a "pocket filter" add-on but that's another $800 and it seems like I can build my own system for less and refill charcoal/replace electrostatic and pleated filter for around $150.
My main priorities in an air mover are adequate air flow and current draw at 115v. Noise is next on the list of course.
Looking at the various options people have put up it seems like the Harbor Freight model is not even worth looking at so these are the models I'm considering. I would appreciate any feedback and especially tips on what to be on the lookout for (besides 400cfm at high pressure so 600 cfm minimum)

- looks like a great efficient motor with lots of air movement. A bit pricy but looks awesome. Does anyone use it?

- Another option?
Random cheap 1 hp blower on amazon

Other options
http://tjernlund.com/ductboost.htm - the m-8 goes for $160 and could be viable but don't know if anyone has tried this type of air mover
Any suggestions or tips?
