Final narrative
An employee was performing rebar fabrication using a bending machine. The employee's glove became caught in the area where the rebar bend overlaps onto itself. The subsequent bending/cutting caused the two overlapping portions to squeeze together and amputate approximately 1/4" of his left index fingertip.
