A drilling byproduct recovery system employs a vacuum shroud positioned adjacent a workpiece. A spindle extends from a base and engages a tool. The spindle vertically reciprocates the tool upwardly through an aperture in the vacuum shroud to engage the workpiece. A circumferential air jet is emitted proximate a base of the spindle and directed toward the vacuum shroud.

Systems and methods for movement of objects are provided. One system includes a plurality of vehicles configured to support the object, wherein each of the vehicles includes omni-directional wheels and a height adjusting device. The system also includes a control system in communication with the plurality of vehicles, wherein the control system is configured to transmit a signal to the plurality of vehicles instructing the plurality of vehicles to move the object in a predetermined direction along the floor. Each of the plurality of vehicles is configured to adjust at least one of a direction of movement using the omni-directional wheels or a height at which the object is supported while moving the part in the predetermined direction using the height adjusting device.
