Any idea what widely available gloves would be best suited for handling fresh cut sheet goods (mdf, laminated mdf, machined solid wood sharp as heck)?
I'm getting all cut up pulling parts off saws, my cnc etc.
Has to have some sort of grip layer as taking dusty mdf is really slippy. Breathable and light as well, cant stand rubber things on my hands.
Leather work gloves usually too thick, fabric ones cut just as well as my fingers in them, etc...

Any good choices on screwfix for a shop joiner/cnc machinist ?

Is it just the breathability, or the feeling of rubber you don't like?
Most cut-resistant gloves have a rubbery texture on the working side, for grip and protection...


I use the Site gloves and don't have any problems with them, even when worn for extended periods.
Although, best to take them off, before operating a lathe! :)
 
In shop issued gloves hands always sweaty and in cold shop it feels like i'm working in waterlogged gloves. same with some rubber coated ones i tried. Also, palm rubber gloves i tried usually too stretchy on the back, slips off while gripping things.
For quality of rubber, though - many gloves with rubber coating grip ONCE, then get covered in mdf dust and become just as slippy as everything else.

Haven't touched a lathe in ages :D I'm a cnc router programmer/setter/operator, if i were to get anywhere close to spinning things in there machine would just screech to a halt due to all the safeties present. For the "saw" part of my post - i'm usually the gopher taking parts off the slidey saw, i dont shove my fingers in there :D (table saws terrify me, and shop super is a walking reminder as to why (he be missing fingers, if a professional can do that to himself i cant even think about me, an amateur, so, nope))...

Just looking for something not disposable, light (for good tactile feel) and with textured grip layer on them that doesn't clog up with dust easily.
Quality, i dont mind paying for. Am i expecting too much ?
