A drill has a housing formed with an outlet hole, a fan expelling an air stream from the outlet hole, a drive spindle projecting from the housing adjacent the outlet and centered on and rotatable about an axis, and a chuck body carried on the housing. A tightening sleeve rotatable about the axis on the chuck body carries a plurality of radially shiftable jaws, and interengaging screw formations operatively engaged between the body and the sleeve can shift the jaws radially in the guides on rotation of the sleeve relative to the body. A shield sleeve angularly fixed to the housing and surrounding the tightening sleeve has a rear end juxtaposed with the housing radially outside the outlet hole such that the air stream enters the shield sleeve. Inside the shield sleeve forward of its rear end a passage and a particle-expelling hole collect drilling particles and blow them out the particle-expelling hole.
A drill comprising:
The drill defined in claim wherein 12 the shield sleeve is centrally formed with a radially open hole, whereby the air current exits the shield sleeve through the radial hole, the tightening sleeve being formed with a radially throughgoing hole, whereby particles driven centrifugally through the tightening-sleeve radial hole are entrained by the air stream and expelled through the shield-sleeve radial hole.
