• and
• a collection assembly, wherein the collection assembly comprises a casing which accommodates at least a portion of the cutting means, the casing further comprising a chamber for collecting matter generated by the cutting means wherein the chamber comprises an inlet, an outlet and a conduit intermediate the inlet and the outlet;
• wherein the casing further comprises a plurality of airfoil sections spaced radially about the cutting means, the airfoil sections configured to direct air and particulate matter therebetween from the cutting means into the conduit, each airfoil section comprising a substantially planar surface extending across an interior space within the casing and disposed perpendicular to a plane defined by the cutting means.
