First let me ask, have you ever got a carving tool caught
in a glove? I'm
wondering if you actually had this experience.?

Dale:

Unfortunately, the answer is yes. );-) And I have stabbed myself more than once with Japanese gravers.

I was using the Foredom, and the cloth got tangled in one of the hand pieces. I think the probably of such occurrences is less with a Makita based on the way it secures the cutting piece.

Regardless, my opinion is simply one of the many. );-) I find that I work move attentively without gloves (for obvious reasons).

You advise is always valuable, and I was simply presenting one of my many biased views. );-))

Cordially,

Michael
