Investigation Summary
At 10:14 p.m. on May 3, 2021, an employee working as a machine operator for a military depot was operating a Marvel model F2150A-PC3S bandsaw. The employee was cutting pieces of channel metal when he reached over a barricade to push a piece of the metal into the shuttle vise clamp area. As the employee pushed the metal, the shuttle vise clamp closed automatically and pinched two right-hand fingers between the channel metal and the shuttle vise. The employee received medical treatment without hospitalization for an approximately 1 inch amputation of his ring finger and crush injuries to the ring finger and the other finger.
