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.
