What about a swamp cooler?

I dislike the idea of a swamp cooler for a shop, just because it adds
so much humidity. I *like* living in a dry climate - I haven't had to
worry about rust on my tools for years.

I vote for ventilation as the best way to control the heat on a short
term basis. A 1500 cfm hooded roof fan cost only about $100 IIRC. I'm
looking at putting one in my garashop soon.

I use a swamp cooler, but it blows out the window...
it draws a little heat out of the shop, but mostly (if I clean the filter
regularly) helps the DC keep the dust down..

I just ordered a solar powered roof vent and that should help quite a bit,
especially in the evenings, to get the stagnant heat out of the shop..
