You're busy carving with some kind of vibrating power tool, like a recip carver or a grinder with a chainsaw disc. Everything's going great, but after an hour or two you're sweeping up the sawdust and your hand is still tingling a bit. A couple hours later it still doesn't feel quite right, like a slight numbness. The feeling eventually goes away a few hours later, but you're still wondering about it. Is this common? Is there a good way to avoid it other than switching to manual tools only? Maybe some kind of special gloves? A-A
