I'm needing a fume extractor for the shop. Usually it's one guy welding 2"-48" pipe with SMAW, and the occasional aluminum MIG weld. What do you guys recommend?

how big and how "tight" is your shop...
where are you located?? seasonal/year round temps...???
is welding done at fixed location in the shop...?? or will it move around..??
what is your budget for this??? will you build or buy a system..??

My shop is 35' x 50'. Most welding is done in the centre, but not always. Shop space isn't real tight, so I was thinking along the lines of a portable unit on wheels that I can move around. It won't get a lot of heavy use. The quiter, the better.Comment

something to think about is... a lot of guys are building their own.. using a salvaged furnace blower and ducting from Lowes.

I got a Lincoln mobilflex 200. The price seemed good and it works great so far. It hasn't had much use yet, but will pretty soon.JeffComment
