I'm amazed that this has not yet erupted into the traditional

caveat about wearing them while machining would seem to be reasonable.

Is there any problem wearing the blue nitrile gloves when using
machine tools?

Well, they don't rip like latex gloves do. You can get 'em to rip,
but if it gets caught, it might pull you in. I wear them often
(EMT) and I don't think I'd want them around moving machinery. They're
just too strong to rely on them coming off or away in a problem.
