A shop mechanic was grinding a small piece of metal on a bench grinder. The metal scraper blade EE was grinding was pulled from EE's hand between the grinder wheel and the guard, which caused EE's thumb to be pulled between the grinder wheel and guard. The mechanic suffered a cut on EE's finger and the tip of EE's thumb was removed.
