Bruce as you probably know I have a Sieg X2 Mini Mill, a very popular mini mill for around $1500.00
I've lost count of the fella's that spend 1000's and 1000s and 1000's of dollars making this into custom CNC etc etc etc

I don't think I would try to use the Vevor spray booth inside, my Son has one & it'll kinda sorta pull the paint in through a craptacular filter, you will still get the smell & much of the paint overspray in the room. Hence...if you gotta use it outdoors...what's the point.
No way ever indoors. The guys that I have seen using spray booths on YT (DIY) say that mostly they are using them to stop crap landing on the wet paint and the benefits of the turntable and lights. As usual some guys (who'd a thought huh!) go to the extreme and have 'water curtains' and other mods and enhancements.
I like to look at the hobbies machinist forum , I do like to improve my machines to make them more user friendly, but some of these guys take it to such an extreme level that I wonder if they actually "use" these machines...or just continue to improve them all the time for us all to see. 😙

Hi Jim, The Vevor spray booth looks like a very handy tool for your arsenal.

Yeah, I've got one that I use on occasion. Most people would call it the "Great Outdoors", such that I can only use it seasonally, when meteorological conditions are suitable, but it works really well at times like that! ;c)

I have seen the one above in person, it is large. I have bought the parts to make a spray booth such as Rogers IE: explosion proof blower. Roger just opened the door a bit (as shown) & relied on the auction of the blower to pull the vapors out and away from the house, he had quite the long exhaust pipe to keep the paint of the house. I have needed one for ages Jim, & just haven't built one yet, I haven't decided on where I will put it.😋
