Final narrative
On January 23, 2015, at approximately 6:30 p.m., a worker from the inside machine shop was training another employee on how to sand the face of a flange using a sanding disk mounted onto the tool rest of a lathe. The flange (part of a very long shaft) was on a lathe rotating at approximately 20 rpms. When the worker went to adjust the sanding disk, his left pinky at the first knuckle joint was amputated by one of the holes in the flange.
