So what is the problem you ask?  Well it threw chips all over my shop and took ages to clean up Big Grin

Build a couple of plexiglass shields mounted on cheap indicator magnetic bases.  You can then position them to restrict the chips to a much smaller area.

Another possibly is mounting the end of a shop vac hose where it will catch the chips.
