not sure if this is meant facetiously, but one tenet of shop safety is that you don't wear gloves when using tools that could snag and wrap your hand around them. drill presses, grinders, table saws.

yep. Effectively no woodworking tools can be safely used with gloves. Gloves are fine for material handling, but not operating tools.

Don't google image search for "power tool glove accident"
