Investigation Summary
On December 14, 1995, Employee #1, a machinist with over five years of employment, was operating a Bridgeport vertical milling machine, series 1, turret model BR2J. She had touched the cutter to the port and measured the cut mark with a caliper to ensure correct position. Her fingertip was amputated by the cutter because she was not watching her hand as she lowered it from the spindle. She was treated at a local hospital and released the following day. Employee #1 could not explain why she was not watching her left hand when it was close to the cutter. Vertical millers are not normally equipped with point of operation guards.
