Ya dude cut the tendon in his hand between his thumb and pointer. It's a lose lose situation when your running a machine like that, don't wear gloves and get shards in your hand, wear gloves and you risk getting caught in machine. Believe he was trying to move the coolant spray.

That is always my number one fear when running a mill or lathe as part of our safety standards we were required to wear rubber gloves but I never did. Hints that's y my hands are like leather now I couldn't tell you how many times I have picked metal out of my hand with pocket knife and magnet.

AnsellPro makes a series of gloves called "HyFlex." These are form fitting, come in multiple sizes and have a very, very wide range of specialty design.

I like to tell employees that they make a pair that are perfect for your application that they will fall in love with.
I like to tell management that keeping a few boxes of these for various applications are way cheaper than workman's comp.

They even make oil rig gloves that would be good for winching.

In my opinion those gloves a very dangerous to wear around something with moving parts they have nylon in them and thick rubber they will more than likely suck your hand into the machine before they would ever tear our rip. Those look to be the same gloves as in steve pictures.

That's his glove wrapped up In the endmill. Those are actually the same gloves you just linked too. They're nice but I prefer not to wear gloves when I'm dealing with any type of machine like that. I'd rather have dirty hands and pick out a chard.

I've gotten my shirt caught into the shaft of a mini lathe and it ripped my shirt off. Didn't get hurt but now I don't wear anything loose or get close to the machine to let it get me.

No way in hell am I wearing a long sleeve shirt, jacket, rings, watch, or gloves around a Lathe or Mill. I learned what those things could do in HS at about age 14. I was polishing a part and the sand paper got hung and basically ripped my thumb nail off. Fun stuff.
