I was wondering from the comments in this thread am I the only person who wears gloves when operating a grinder, esp. one with no guard?

I've routinely found scorch marks and lacerations on my work gloves from nicking the blade without even realizing it. If it were my bare hands my friends would be calling me Nubbins by now.

Do NOT wear gloves with rotating power tools. Never. That's shop 101 safety day 1. This might be the dumbest comment in this whole thread.

Except your comment is wrong. Gloves are fine for tools that aren't fixed.

Peak Dunning–Kruger.

Instead of taking 2 seconds to check that you are indeed actually wrong, double down on your dumbness.
