To qualify a bit more, it is not likely a spinning blade will pull a
glove in and especially if there is resistance. The glove is likely
to be cut and cut much easier than wood. I still don't recommend a
glove around a TS as the glove could get caught up on a guard, miter
gauge, fence or what ever and your natural pushing motion could be
detoured into the blade.

More dangerous IMHO are gloves around a lathe, drill press, or
OSSander. Basically tools that can wind the glove up with you inside.

Gloves with a chainsaw, hammer drill, most portable sanders, etc..,
not so bad.



What about bench grinders? To me, they seem to be a safer tool with
gloves than without.
