Know how you feel. I get little finger completely white and tips of others. Too late for me I think so look after the rest.

Dude thats unlucky,Do you think you can get that these days with the anti vibe being so good?Or everyday use just bring it on regardless?

[Harrison2604]

Well, I'm not 100% sure what it is yet!

 

Whether it's due to vibrating machinery in cold conditions or because my partner dropped a slice of sycamore on it a few weeks back...

 

Haha, whatever caused it, its bloody annoying. It happens everyday and gives me a very uncomfortable feeling! Oh well.

dont kid yourself

most folks sharpening at least double,s the vib

and some of us been using saws a long time

and lots of folk using old saws rather than upgrading

i suffer slightly and now run all modern kit and take care with cutter length and angles and change sprockets ect

my local saw shop averages 300 chains to a sprocket sold:blushing:

I think hedge cutting is far worse for white finger . Also Tree work in general just makes you fall to bits. But when its good its amazing

That sounds getting close to unbelievable:scared1:

 

drive links/sprocket would be more like it.
