I believe that one on the picture is the Hardinge. The rest of the machines at G & L we have available are here-http://www.gltool.com/facilities/

Shameless plug coming up-- G & L Tool is a relatively small machine shop. (about 15 employees) They can handle just about anything that anyone can throw at them in quantities of 1 to whatever.

Gloves could get snagged in that lathe pretty easily (and pull large parts of your body around and around) while not really protecting your hands from anything.

True story: I could have lost much more than part of my fingernail freshman year if I had been wearing gloves while using the lathe (we're still not too sure how that happened, actually). You shouldn't even have to protect your hands from hot metal chips flying anywhere, because if you're using the lathe properly, you should get nice, even, cool-looking spiral chips that don't fly unless they get extremely long and snag on something.

Boys and girls, gloves and moving parts do not mix very well.

NO! Absolutely not! Do NOT wear gloves when working around rotating machinery. Roll your sleeves up, tie your hair back, take the string out of your hoodie, no lanyards holding your glasses or company ID badge. ::safety::

Also don't forget no jewelry. Being around a machine shop my entire life I have seen way to many avoidable accidents.
