Chain Male

[Seano]

Need some chain male gloves for band saw use and have just been looking at prices anywhere from £90 - 130 EACH HOLY ****....... and that's only for s/s ti is even more expensive......they are specced for elf and safety at work, good job i don't have to pay for them.

Meat cutting? I guess there is a fair bit of work in making them and a limited market

 

[hotrodder]

It's the human trafficing that puts the price up chainmail gloves are cheaper for example... Ti, large, made in Germany, £60BIN

ETA on a more serious note how much protection are they gonna offer with a machine designed to cut metal? OK harder to cut than skin and bone but i would have thought the result could be even more messy... more likely to try and pull you in or instead of a clean sever a mangled mess. From school to now everywhere and everyone i know has always gone with a policy of 'no gloves/no multitasking/interupting people and treat it as a machine that WILL try to hurt you' for vertical bandsaws

I have a chain mail glove, obtained via 'reallocation of resources'.
A very fine thing and I can see why they are so pricy.

Why don't you sign up to one of those Historical Societies and get the full kit for free, Just don't tell them your going to work in it

Something Iv had a play with now an then. Made from the bits of 1.6mm wire left in the mig gun from changing reels. Probably never get finished, its very time consuming and pretty useless. And Iv better things to do.


I have to agree with Hotroder. Cant see the advantage safety wise of wearing something that will snag on the blade. If anything I think its more dangerous.

 

[chunkolini]

Oh engineer you look so rugged.
When I grow up can i dress like this.

A mate of mine wears his chain mail jacket to the pub. Expensive stuff indeed. Maybe your missus could knit you one out of brillo pads?
