same people that tell me they wear gloves while using a lathe "because they stop the metal shavings"
yeah theres people so stupid that they actually think jeans will stop a saw, and im not talking about people that think it won't happen to them
ive also met people who think boots will save them from a saw

This is not the right place for that.
FKN canadians, gonna sit and ***** about stuff, then tell people not to help
maybe if you would quit fighting moose and drinking maple syrup you'd be less grumpy

We all know about you, I'm shocked your not running the country by now with everything you know.

I don’t believe my STIHL chaps have protection in the calf area ? They go to the ground and zipper around my lower leg.

I was at a machine shop that this happened. Killed the guy.
I put him on 'ignore' a long time ago. That way I don't have to read his arcane drivel and it don't clutter up my pages either. I see he changed his screen name as well. Candidly, I liked the original one better. Mr. Metsa or whatever it was, was a lot better. At my age, I don't suffer fools all that well.

I also liked his old name better.
Accidents happen in any workplace and it's usually from not paying attention or disregarding proper procedures. I own and operated a short run machine and fab shop and neither I nor my employees wear gloves when running machine tools like lathes and mills and never have, but then grabbing a piece of swarf coming off a lathe tool or milling cutter is begging to get injured. Don't happen here as myself and my employees are smarter than that.

I used to be proud of how tough my hands were when running a lathe. I could grab hot pieces right out of the chuck.
That is foolish. Not only are they hot, they have sharp edges. That will cut you quickly. A wood block or length of metal is much safer if you must.

Apparently he was cleaning up threads on a 4” diameter pipe with sandpaper or something similar. He was told many times not to wear gloves. 21 years experience.
Sounds pretty shaky to me. Properly chased threads on any object, rarely need dressing, unless the threading tool was improperly aligned, or the coolant was not applied or something else was not correct. In my shop neither myself nor any of my employees would alter a thread profile with abrasive of any kind because that would compromise the sealing of the mating threads. Sounds wonky to me.

We took pride in our Calais' , because of them we didn't get hurt.
Have no idea what a 'Calais' is or how it pertains to safe machine shop practice...
I will say however, that being on this forum has exposed me to a lot of funky words.... Most of which I ignore.

Wait, WUT? You need to change your name to Mr. Pot! You may be learning to entertain, but you are not qualified to call anyone else an amateur.
Wait, you think politicians know things? Our system is so miserable anyone with any value chooses to stay away. I first heard that in school 45 years ago. Other than the volume of the arguments and the inability to compromise, nothing has changed.
