Gloves are in my opinion out of the question. Using a scrap piece of wood where possible or a jig maybe of some help. I could see gloves causing more harm than good.

Hi folks, Has anyone figured out a solution to cuts and small but annoying and painful hurts on the fingers when using power tools? Ever once in a while I think, gloves? Thimbles? But gloves would probably just either make a more uniform cut in my flesh, or else, if they were made of cotton, thread could get caught in something and really get serious. Perhaps the tough leather or raw hide thick gloves? Are those good? I'm thinking, about throwing the gloves on after I have already got band saw cuts, sanding jobs or drillpress projects set up, so that it would just be an issue of guiding, so that I really don't have to feel the wood perfectly all the time. Is this just crazy all together, or have you found something which works? Thanks, Matt [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
