Given that even a hand-held circular saw will cut a 10d nail pretty easily,
that would have to be a hell of a glove!

Kevlar

Kevlar reduces knife slices but is chewed up by a TS blade instantly.
Well, less instantly than a leather glove, but very close.

A quick hand into a lower powered saw might result in the breakage of
your hand but I think the kevlar glove might stop the blade shortly
before it started chewing. Dina would choke, fer sher. A 5hp Griz,
prolly not. I wouldn't want to try it with either a circ saw or a
table saw. I ain't no weenie.


I wold think a saw blade might be similar to a speeding bullet.

No, it's more like spinning or saw-cutting knife blades.


Apparently it is use for this very purpose.

Personal protection
Kevlar is used to manufacture gloves, sleeves, jackets, chaps and other
articles of clothing[17] designed to protect users from cuts, abrasions
and heat. Kevlar based protective gear is often considerably lighter and
thinner than equivalent gear made of more traditional materials.[16]
