Pictures of my latest approach to collecting dust and chips from a drill
press are shown at
http://www.anneldavis.com/bobandanne/dp_dust_collection.htm.
I also posted pictures in alt.binaries.pictures.woodworking.
A drill press using a large bit throws off an amazing amount of chips in a
perfect 360 degree distribution pattern. Its like a little mini-planer
sitting on a table and creates a big mess. I am very pleased with this
solution for my circumstances. Perhaps it will stimulate your thinking for
your own situation.

I used an aluminum dryer duct on the DP. I can bend it into place and
it stays. It's cheap and it works well. The setup also does exactly
what UA says it does in regards to airflow.

Another up side for one of these, you can run even the
largest of diameter bits for a way long time and the air
rushing past will keep the bit from heating up.
