I flagged this because this is extremely dangerous advice. DO NOT use gloves with a table saw, jointer, etc There are exceptions, but if you want a simple rule: DO NOT use gloves with power tools It is extremely dangerous. You can take an injury that would've been a nick on the finger and turn it into a lost hand.

Now I'm curious: why? Not that I don't believe you, but I'm wondering what is the reason? It's not intuitively clear why gloves would make it more dangerous, even knowing that it is.

  If a glove comes into contact with a spinning blade, there is a good chance it will pull the rest of the glove, and the hand within it, right into the path of the blade.

    Aha! That is one of those things that never crossed my mind, but makes perfect sense once explained.
