Abstract: On December 4, 2012 Employee #1 was changing a bit on a drill press without first deenergizing the equipment. Employee #1 reached into the machine and inadvertently started the machine which in turn, caught his gloved right hand in the revolving action causing the right index finger to be ripped from the hand. Employee #1 was transported to an area hospital where he underwent surgery to repair his traumatically amputated right index finger.
