In my plant, the only use for Kevlar gloves was assembly operations
where sharp parts were handled. For instance, the assembly of knives
in portable planers was at high risk for laceration until we required
the use of kevlar gloves.

I would not reccommend them for use with moving part machinery.

Working with scary sharp chisels would be a more appropriate employment
IMO. Every once in a while one _does_ slip and by Murphy's law it will be
the one time that you got careless with your hand position.
