Could we finally get closer to safety gloves that work for table saws? As much as I would love to use own, that thing just scares the shit out of me. And yes, I know about the saw stop.

But the general consensus is always not to wear gloves at all. The risk of it getting caught in the machine amplifies the risk much greater than just cutting yourself or losing a finger.
