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.
