[Woodcarver] Kevlar Gloves and Power Carving

[Woodcraft Shop]

Hi AJ,

DO NOT, I repeat, DO NOT ever use a Kevlar glove when you are using rotary 
power tools.  If you use any type of glove, use a heavy leather or suade 
glove on your "holding" hand.

Any sort of fabric-type glove is dangerous to use with any rotary 
equipment.  I met a fellow at a show some time back who told me he actuall 
broke his little finger when a large Karbide Kutzall he was using got 
wrapped up in his safety glove.  The force was such that he couldn't stop 
the machine quick enough to prevent the damage.

All you other power carvers, please heed this warning.
