I have been experiencing numbness in the tips of my thumb, index and middle fingers on my right hand. I think this may be from stippling relieved backgrounds, as I have been doing more of this lately. Has anyone else experienced this?
I was wondering if I was using poor technique. I use a carbide point in a GRS 901 with a graver max set at 1000-1400 for stippling. I just read one of Sam's posts on stippling where he was running at 4200. Is that my problem? Do I need to increase my speed?
Any feedback and advice would be much appreciated. I've been goldsmithing for most of my life and have never had anything like this happen.
