Problems solved by technology

The removal of flooring tile is a dirty and time-consuming process.
However, this process usually results in a large amount of dust and debris that is ejected into the ambient air.
In turn, this requires a substantial amount of preparation time to protect surrounding areas from being contaminated with dust.
Additionally, the health of individuals in those areas may be negatively affected by the dust.
Furthermore, environmental regulations may prohibit the escape of the removed dust into the atmosphere.
However, there are significant drawbacks with these desig

Abstract

A system and method are provided for capturing dust created from a work surface by a rotary tool attachment. A shield is comprised of a ridged shroud and a flexible skirt. The shroud is configured to be coupled to a rotary tool, and to either fully enclose or partially expose the rotary tool attachment. The shroud has a plurality of air inlets, a first opening, and a second opening through the top surface of the shroud. The first opening receives a mechanical driveshaft of the rotary tool and the second opening is coupled to an external vacuum source. The flexible skirt is coupled to a perimeter of the shroud and extends downward from above the top surface of the shroud and is configured to contact the work surface.
