Sometimes you'll need to drill a hole without having the shavings, either fall on paint or into a intake manifold or somewhere else. Good tip to, uh, prevent the shavings from ending up all over the place is to grease the drill bit with a nice heavy based grease, then that will catch the shavings as you're drilling.
