  • Wearing gloves while running a table saw is a bad idea as it tends to not only grab but pull violently fast causing your hand to be pulled into the spinning blade before you can react. I have seen many injuries caused by use of gloves in a saw blade, also loose clothing while using that type of tool. A friend of mien severed her arm above the wrist with a chop saw when it grabbed her her shirt sleeve and pulled her into it in a split second.

  • what if you're wearing gloves???

  • @lowdown3007

    If you are smart you will not be wearing gloves while working near ANY spinning blade. The safety equipment is not meant to fix stupid habits but try to help save some fingers.

  • why does it stop at hot dogs i thought it said stops in contact with SKIN! or flesh..

  • @iChloeParkeri

    It activates at any conducive material such as skin.  You can test material first to keep from tripping it accidentally and bypass the safety if needed.

  • @iChloeParkeri Hot dogs are meat, skin are meat. Lol

  • @lowdown3007 You cant wear gloves working with saws, they would get caught in the machines.

  • looks like some thing from Saw

  • @RBuffordTJ how is wearing gloves stupid

  • @lowdown3007 then it will cut thru the gloves then stop

  • @RBuffordTJ

    in response to lowdown3007, gloves will still be ok to wear. the saw will hit the glove but it will not detect conductivity so it will slice right through the glove. however, when it gets to the finger inside the glove, it will detect the conductivity of the finger and stop.

  • @RBuffordTJ

    I believe then even if you wear gloves, the blade will cut through them and stop at the fingers.

  • @iChloeParkeri Because thats what hot dogs basically are: flesh, or well you can tie that in with it.
