Yes, I thought of that. I almost have that "broken bathroom tile" adhered back to the wall. The pieces of the tile are glued together, I just need to scrub the adhesive off the wall and finish the job! Let's see if I can get it done tomorrow...
What do you call the stuff that is produced by a saw blade? It's commonly referred to as sawdust, no matter how fine a size it is.
It's clear to everyone by that statement you've never used a drill press before. Just about any person who has used a drill press for longer than am hour has devised some way to hook up a hose from their shop vac or dust collector because of all the swarf, shavings, chips, filings, or whatever else anyone who's not an overly-semantic bonehead would consider synonymous with the word sawdust. I have yet to run across any woodworker on this planet who calls the vacuum producing machine that is piped to different woodworking tools in order to suck up all the previously mentioned waste byproducts produced by those tools anything other than a "dust" collector.
Two words of advice:
Better to be silent and considered a fool than open your mouth a remove all doubt.

They're talking sense there. Metal doesn't always come off in chips, but often comes off in long strings that could easily clog a DC pipe. Also, they tend to come off quite hot, which could melt the bellows.
Since the bellows pops off in just a few seconds, I can gain the benefit of chip collection without losing the versatility of the drill press.
I'm doing something wrong. When I drill a hole the wood that was in the hole comes out and piles up on top of the board. Evidently you've been able to overcome this. Can you teach me your method?

Neither does mine. My jointer and planer don't make "dust" either, but I still connect them to my dust collector -- which does a fine job of collecting the chips those machines produce.
Perhaps you haven't thought this through all the way?
if i had to sweep up the chips maybe it makes sense but the shop vac takes a few seconds also if the chips are flying all over the shop you probably have the rpms set too high on your drill press

If you have wood flying all over the shop, you have bigger problems. You need to call an exterminator to get rid of those darn woodchucks!
Hey you darn woodchucks, quit chucking my wood!
My DP does indeed produce dust as well as chips. With a larger bit like a Forstner or spade bit, the amount of chips can be significant and difficult to handle. I'm not sure the Drillnado will make it easy to see the depth of the hole, but usually most large holes are done with peck drilling anyway.
But if you haven't experienced the pile of chips all over the DP, you have too little shop time under your belt. Go read the manual for your tools, get some safety glasses, and make some wood into much smaller hole-ridden pieces of wood.

Ok, I'm in a good mood today.
Wood goes all over my shop not because of it being tossed by the tools, but because it hitches a ride on my shoes. I try to take steps to prevent that, but unfortunately taking steps is what causes it in the first place!
