    I agree a vacuum is the way to go, each to his own of course but I am not a fan of magnets around machinery so I use a shop vac to clean my machines, never use an air gun either. The vac will pick up all types of swarf and dust and cleans out cap screws a treat. I use it on my cutter grinder while in use as carbide dust is not something you want to ingest. The only downside is that it will pick up some things you did not want it to but at least you know where it went.
