Inspecting the blade, Cpl. Matt G. Pelkey, a machinist with Battalion Maintenance, 2nd Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion Regimental Combat Team 5, ensures the product is made perfect to every detail while making a welding hose connector at Camp Korean, Village, Iraq, April 25. The machine is set up like a reverse drill, where the object is held by a rotating clamp called the "Chuck." The metal is forcibly penetrated by either a borer or a blade sharp enough to cut a dropped hair.
