Narrative

An employee was drilling holes in a part using a Bridgeport mill. The part moved in the vice and the employee reached in to re-secure the part while the machine was running. A burr or the drill bit snagged his glove pulling his thumb into the drill bit and causing a partial amputation of the left thumb.
