Abstract
A system and a method include a tool having an operative portion. The tool is disposed in relation to a first side of one or more components. An anvil is disposed in relation to a second side of the one or more components. The second side is opposite from the first side. The anvil includes a first portion separated from a second portion by a gap. A fluid circuit includes a fluid stream that extends through the gap. The fluid circuit is configured to remove foreign object debris generated in relation to the second side of the one or more components.
