## Narrative

Two machinists were machining the bores on the front hoist case. Machinists were standing on opposite sides of the hoist case and one asked the other if he was ready. The other EE then pushed the boring bar through before his hand was clear, pinching his ring finger between the bar and the bore of the bearing, cutting off the end of his finger between the fingernail and knuckle.
