Abstract:
A drilling byproduct recovery system employs a vacuum shroud positioned adjacent a workpiece. A spindle extends from a base and engages a tool. The spindle vertically reciprocates the tool upwardly through an aperture in the vacuum shroud to engage the workpiece. A circumferential air jet is emitted proximate a base of the spindle and directed toward the vacuum shroud.
