My "Old trick" is to just dunk the drill bit in heavy grease, the drillings stick to the grease. Not much clean up if done properly.

~~~KTM'ers use the cleanable metal oil filters primarily because of the water pump shaft seal failing allowing coolant into the oil, which will then plug up a paper filter quick (as the paper pleats swell), stopping the flow of oil to vital engine parts=:-( Not a problem in the KLR motor AFAIK Jake Reddick Fla. "One night, Kaldi's goats failed to come home, and in the morning he found them dancing with abandon and glee near a shiny, dark-leafed shrub with red berries. Kaldi sampled some of the berries and soon he too was dancing in the field alongside his goats." http://www.shakinjake.blogspot.com/
