ABSTRACT:
An evacuated enclosure is provided around a circular cutter to collect the cutting dust produced while forming inspection apertures in insulation cladding. The enclosure includes an upper and lower coaxial chamber, the upper chamber provided with an air pump geared to a rotary shaft from a hand tool that also extends into the lower chamber. The hole cutter at the end of the shaft is then advanced through the insulation cladding by the advancement of the shaft through the cover, and the withdrawal stroke removes the cut pluc from the hale cutter while a spray of fixative is released into the enclosure. This fixative coats the loose strands on the plug exterior and also collects on the filter elements, to fix hazardous dust like asbestos from dispersal. The assembly may be combined with a portable power unit which may also include a vacuum device to augment the air draw across the filter. At the same time the lower chamber may be covered over its interior surfaces by a disposable fibrous liner for collecting the cutting deris thereon. The filter element and the liner can then be disposed following each use.
