and are thin enough so that if there is a chance of some bit being
caught up, it should rip through without pulling your hand in.

While I agree that I wouldn't wear gloves for all the reasons
mentioned. was just reading a mag, might have been FW, and they
show somebody wearing gloves using the TS. hey even pointed out that
they lessened the chance of kickback due to slippage.

As I said, I wouldn't $o it.

LOL. When I've gotten kickback, the only "slippage" was between my
ears. Slippage. That's pure nonsense. Featherboards and push sticks,
not gloves.

I agree. Plus, working with an alert and clear mind will help
question procedures that can be done in a safer manner.
