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.

largest of diameter bits for a way long time and the air rushing past will keep the bit from heating up.

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.

Looks good. I have been coming in from the back and over a fence and it has been a pain. This looks like a good way of getting close without the duct getting in the way. I am going to give it a try.
