Narrative

EE drilled the starter hole and then continued to put the pusher and finisher in the hole to complete the hole depth. An attempt was made to fast feed the steel into the hole. In doing so the steel bowed at the same time they hit the rotation. This caused the steel to strike EE in the palm of the hand.
