Another method of drilling a borehole can include chopping drill cuttings with a drilling tool connected in a drill string, and then forcing the chopped drill cuttings against a wall of the borehole with another drilling tool connected in the drill string. Another drilling system can include a drilling tool connected in a drill string, the tool including at least one device which decreases an average size of drill cuttings between an outer housing and an inner mandrel.
