George, could you dedicate a wheelchair for use only in the shop? The chips that stick to the wheels or land on the chair may be traveling out of your shop¡
I¡¯d imagine that some of the swarf that the wheels pick up are probably getting transferred to your hands and causing cuts. Could you get an electric wheelchair for the shop, so you wouldn¡¯t have to touch the wheels? If that¡¯s not possible, then maybe something to shield your hands? maybe you can move the wheels from the spokes, avoiding the rubber? while gloves are a dangerous hazard to wear while operating machine tools, maybe having a pair just for use while moving the chair around?

Chips just fall where they want. I have trays, magnets, apron, vac, on and on and still they make it into my hands. As I use a wheelchair, chips or cuts in my hands are common. So I just accept all that as part of the hobby. When put to bed my wife then uses a lint roller to pick up stuff from the bed, the chair and the floor. And I still get cuts. Most I cannot feel but the wife has eagle eyes. But yea, the best I have found is to make it so the chips, swarf, etc, never leave the bench in the first place.
