All,
Finally setting up my basement shop as mentioned in my recent thread about lighting. Now, I'm in a quandary about the best location for my air cleaner. I have a Powermatic PM1200 that I recently purchased off CL (stealth gloat - looks brand new and you don't even want to know what I paid for it). My shop is divided by a main support beam for the house, and next to it are the main air supply duct, waste line, etc. This is all boxed in but hangs about 14" below the ceiling. On the attached shop layout this is marked by the thin rectangle spanning the full width of the shop left to right. The additional, much smaller rectangle is the boxed in return duct that also hangs 14" below the ceiling. Where do you think would be the best location for the air cleaner? Should I use and auxiliary fan on the opposite side of the shop to ensure the air keeps moving? Has anyone connected a fan to their air cleaner to switch on and off with it?

Thanks for any input.
