I used to work in a meat processing plant doing cleanup when I was about 16. It is a very dangerous job. You have to take machinery apart to clean it and if you are careless you can easily lose fingers/hands/arms/other appendages. My least favorite part of the job was cleaning the bandsaws. You have to take the the blade which is about 10 feet long out of the machine (it's razor sharp so on a good day you don't cut yourself very badly) and clean out what I can only call "meat sawdust" out of every nook and cranny of the machine. Then you have to feed the blade back into the saw. That was probably the least dangerous machine to clean. The meat grinders were also a pain in the ass because you have to remove a giant spiral cylinder with razor sharp edges, again very easy to lose at least a finger if you're not careful

I wouldn't ever want my child to be doing that job, or anyone else's

Did they not give you fucking gloves?

dont ever wear gloves when working with rotating or moving saws. the gloves will force your hand into the saw.

i am a regular guest on a clinic ward that specializes in hand surgery. people with severed fingers or half of a hand missing always tell me the same story: the glove forced my hand into the sawblade.

I guess cleaning is not done while the band saw is moving

yes, that makes sense, i failed to understandt this part, the glove thing only applies to moving blades and discgrinder, oh, dont forget lathes and drill presses.

But in general you are absolutely right. No gloves for work at rotating equipment
