The chips land to the right of the DP in a small area. I step on the
valve for a 1/2 second and "poof", the area around the chuck and fence are
free of chips. We aren't talking powdery fine dust that blows all over
the shop. Once or twice a day, a quick vacuuming of about 4 square feet
cleans up the debris from the DP. (There's a wall close to the DP, so the
debris can't go far) It's not as messy as you might expect.

Yeah but, with a vac you use no effort between holes and less to clean up.
I strap my shop vac hose to the DP near the bit and take care of it once and
for all while drilling.
