Default Safety issues of wearing gloves when using power tools?

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


While not entirely the same, I always wear gloves with my angle grinder.
The sparks would burn my hands all up without them.

The grinder spins so fast I don't believe gloves or no gloves will matter.
A cutting or grinding wheel doesn't have teeth so less likely to grab a
glove.
