Final narrative
An employee was recycling honeycomb from a catalytic converter. A small piece of metal was caught in the opening where the blade enters the base of the guillotine shear. The employee was dislodging the piece of metal using a hammer and the force of the shear itself. His right index finger was under the handle of the hammer when the press contacted the hammer and crushed it. The fingertip was medically amputated.
