If the blower is still on it, an air scrubber is a dandy item to have.
If you mount it on the ceiling, run a long duct on the exhaust side of
the box all the way to the opposite end of the shop. Can provide great
circulation, and if the condition of my filters are any indication, it
does a great job!

Thanks in advance for any replies......Dan

Another option, especially if it has a blower still attached, would be
an ambient air cleaner. Not too difficult - build a box and get a good
furnace filter (plus, optionally, a cheaper one for a "pre-filter").
Or a disc sander, something like

Good luck,
