what I have done before, to get air movement, is open the window, stick the fan in there blowing in, spaced back a bit from the window opening will allow the fan to draw more air into the flow. use ribbon flags around the opening to ensure you get full coverage, open the shop door as an exit. only works if you have a window I guess. the good part is the fan doesn't get dirty from all the dust being drawn through it. at one point I made a spray booth using a 2x4 frame in the garage door opening, let the door down on it. stapled furnace filters to the frame. installed the blower fan in front of the window with more furnace filters covering the opening to keep bugs out. not a lot of flow but enough to keep the area clear. I wear a supplied air respirator as well.
