Apparatus for guiding a power drill

摘要

Apparatus for guiding a hand-held power drill comprises a housing 3, 6 provided with means (eg. a collar 11) for attachment to a power drill such that the housing can be rested on and steadied relative to a workpiece during drilling. The housing and workpiece thereby define a cavity which receives the waste material produced by drilling and the housing is adapted (eg. by a telescopic formation of parts 3, 6) to permit motion of the drill along a drilling direction to advance a drill through an opening in the housing. The housing has a waste outlet 2, an air inlet and the apparatus includes fan means 5 drivingly couplable to the power drill such as to propel air into the cavity in use and hence cause waste material and air to be expelled through the waste outlet. A filter bag or other means may be used to collect the expelled waste.
