DEEP inside an industrial building in Kaki Bukit is a S$500,000 machine that is used just to drill microscopic holes in metal pieces - holes that even strands of hair are too large to go through.
"This is our second machine bought to drill a hole into a tool so the tool can suck up a chip," said Low Ming Wah, the energetic president and chief operating officer of precision engineering firm Micro-Mechanics.
