Then again, they are the same guys that DO wear gloves using machinery, and then get their hand all wrapped up in the drill press...
Yeah, wearing leather gloves around rotating machinery is bad juju. I'll admit that I do use'm when belt sanding sometimes, however.
I managed to sit through perhaps 1.5 episodes of OCC before turning it off in complete disgust. What a train wreck.
My LWS carries and I use Tillman TIG gloves -- they're under $15, and I try to remember to consider them a consumable and replace them before they get too filthy.
