Employee amputates finger in door machine router bit

At 7:15 a.m. on January 28, 2020, an employee, a maintenance technician, was trouble shooting a K-Val 990 door machine that was set to bore holes where hinges would be attached later. The machine was leaving a mark on the doors which should not have been there. The employee stuck his gloved hand into the machine and was caught by the spinning router bit pulling his hand into the bit. The employee suffered an amputation of his ring finger on his right hand up to the second knuckle and was treated without hospitalization.
