Default kevlar gloves with a bandsaw?

Here's a test. Take a sausage, shove a chopstick up the middle to
simulate bone, stick it in a finger of the glove and then jam it into
the bandsaw. See just how much damage the sausage suffers.
(I did this a while ago with a plasma cutter - interesting results)


Got pictures? I may have to try this...


Somewhere, but I don't think they ever got put on line.

More cheerfully, it appears that a leather welding glove is adequate to
protect fingers against plasma cutters. You'll probably acquire a burn
in a while, but it's hardly a Dr Evil lazer-slicer type accident.
