Default kevlar gloves with a bandsaw?

Not with power tools.

If I have body parts close enough to a blade to think I need those
things, I take a time out to rethink the method.

However, I do use "carver's friction table" on my left thumb and
forefinger when ripping jointed stock, as I'm tired of slitting my skin
with the sharp board edge. I slip the tape on and off, reusing it for
weeks.
