Re: The gloved woodworker

I wear workgloves most of the time. If I feel that my hand is ever close enough for a tool to catch my rather tight-fitting gloves, I find another way to do whatever I was trying to do.

My gloves are less than 1/8th inch larger than my hands. If my hand is less than even about two inches from a moving cutter, I get nervous.

However, the planer, with its powered infeed, could pose a grabbing risk, so I do work without gloves when at the planer.
