Use a shop vac. Blowing the chips with compressed air gets them into places
they shouldn't be (maybe even in your eyes!)

I use toothbrushes to keep the chips from piling up in the cutting area.
For heavy material removal, I use flood coolant, which cools the tool
and the workpiece, as well as clearing chips.
