Narrative

An employee was setting up tools on a CNC machine. He had commanded a tool change when he noticed the coolant line was in the path of the tool changer. When he attempted to move the coolant line, the tool changer went into motion. His right index fingertip was then amputated between the tool and the changer (no bone loss).
