Gloves are more dangerous than going bare handed with machinery that spins. Youre at risk of getting the glove caught and yanked around whatever is spinning. If it spins, rotates, or operated on a belt/band never use gloves or any loose fitting clothing/loose hair.

Unless you're on a commercial or industrial job of any size, 100% PPE.

No, gloves are not ppe when using a machine like in the picture or like I described before. Its more dangerous to wear gloves in those situations than to not.

I'm a Union Pipefitter, I've worked in a wide variety of commercial and industrial projects. I assure you, if he was doing this on a job today he'd be wearing gloves, a hard hat, safety glasses at a minimum. Likely ear plugs and a face shield as well.
