  • Patent number: 12226866
    Abstract: A foreign object debris (FOD) collection drill attachment for attaching to a drill includes with a drill guide bushing holder, a chip breaker bushing, an air supply line, a chip evacuation line, a chip collection hopper, and an air manifold. The drill guide bushing holder includes an inlet channel receiving air from the air supply line, an outlet channel, and a holder center channel. The inlet channel and the outlet channel each open into the holder center channel through which an end protrusion of the chip breaker bushing extends to break up FOD on a drill bit of the drill. The cross-sectional area of the inlet channel is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the outlet channel, creating a Venturi effect between the inlet channel and the outlet channel to pull FOD away from the drill bit and through the chip evacuation line to the chip collection hopper.
