David Marchant, a senior at the Sanford Regional Technical Center, works on the cutting and grinding of a carbide oil hole drill, last week at Arundel Machine Tool in Arundel. Marchant has been hired as an apprentice at the company and is training to become a cutter/grinder in the tool room. The customized drill he is learning to make has two tiny holes that run down its length to deliver oil to the machines, which can make precision metal pieces for everything from cars to weapons.
