Many years ago I bought a rubber bulb from Hilti for this very purpose.
It had a thinnish plastic pipe attached which you simply poked in the
hole and blew the swarf out.

A large bendable drinking straw does the trick.

Large and bendable so the dust doesn't come right back at you... and
remember to blow, not suck.
