The Best Ways to Drill Holes and Avoid Dust

Dust is always unpleasant, especially if you are drilling near a cabinet. It will be very difficult to remove it after him. We bring to your attention several proven ways to do without it.

DIY anti-dust envelope

To create a super-duper envelope you will need:

• sheet A4;
• scissors;
• scotch.

The paper must be folded so that one end is 2 cm longer.

We glue the sides with tape. You will get a real envelope. To prevent it from being flat, you should run your fingers along the middle of it. At the same time, we compress both sides of the product.

Apply tape to the 2 cm of sheets that protrude to attach the envelope to the wall. In this case, the latter is positioned so that it is close to the future hole. Now you can drill, and the dust will collect inside the pocket. Everything ingenious is simple.

Assistant and vacuum cleaner

If everything is in order with finances, a vacuum dust collector will do. It can be mounted on the ceiling or wall - it simply sticks under the influence of suction. While the vacuum cleaner is running, the dust collector will remain on the surface.

There is a hole in the middle of the device into which a crown or drill is inserted.

There are dust collectors that attach directly to the drill. As work progresses, they move towards the body. These options are suitable if you are making a hole in hard-to-reach places.

The disadvantage of the presented method is the mandatory connection of a vacuum cleaner. If it is not there, the device will be useless. However, there are also modern options on the market that do not require additional equipment.

If you use a drill regularly, it is better to get a professional vacuum cleaner of the “Buran” or “Rocket” type. Otherwise, you will simply land the engine of the device. Modern devices quickly break down, but the old versions can be called indestructible.

Bag, tube and rubber band

A cheap way to collect dust is to use a bag, a tube and an elastic band. The polyethylene is transparent, so everything will be perfectly visible. The anther is assembled from a tube with a hole, an elastic band and a bag. That's it, you can drill. You will definitely like the effect.
