Would chaimail gloves be any defence in the event of an accident with a circular saw?

Doubt it, possibly make an incident worse by snagging or hooking the glove and dragging it in.

Yup... Agree it may be a bit worse if they act as a snag. Its not like a saw that will stop if tangled in kevlar ..Best defence is …ATTENTION !! ATTENTION !! to the job .

Agree

 

 

Best defence is awareness. No gloves keeps you very aware

As above , you ain't going to stop 25hp plus has it drags your arm in , better off being done with a chopping a few digits off then havining your Mrs wiping your arse after losing a arm lol .

Saw bench's are Safe if you don't start crossing your arms over and catching a cut log to throw in a bin , wheelbarrow at side and go with the flow .

Chainmail V's a fast moving part???

 

No - Just NO!!!

A man is about equivalent to 0.5hp apparently.. so if you've got your wee grey fergie, (around 20hp) running a saw from the shaft, you've not much of chance chain mail or not! As stated, attention is the best limb-saver here, kevlar reinforced gloves (or something similar) if on the market i suppose would SLIGHTLY improve protection?
