For those who don't have a good dust or chip collection system and are looking for a simple solution, a bag made from silk screen material works pretty well. Common window screen didn't work - the mesh is too open to be effective.
I made this one out of silk screen material. It was pretty easy to make - I cut a piece about twice the size of the bag, folded it, then stitched two of the open edges together with good two sided tape. A zip tie holds the open end around the hose during use.
This works well - the bag can handle the airflow until it gets maybe 80% full and it stops 100% of the chips. It does pass some really fine dust though, so it either goes outside during use or a mask is necessary.
