Just to add to samuels post, i have nothing whatsoever against drills at all or the user, providing they have had the training needed to opperate them in a safe manner...
however.... the VIBRATION of a drill may potentially cause a CTD or make it worse...............
techs usually opt for the easy option of using a drill after suffering with RSI thinking it will relieve the problem, instead, they dont realise they are making it worse because you have less wrist movement!!!
if you have been taught well, and taught 'HOW TO HOLD AN ABRAISIVE PROPERLY' as well as working from your wrist and NOT from your elbow or shoulder then there is no cause for RSI to occur!!!
Clients are often 'put off' going to a Non Standard Salon only because of the (excuse me) TECH's, :gun: :gun: :gun: (shoot me for saying that!!!!!!!!!!) using a drill, so they come to you instead.... wouldn't it be nice for them to want to come to you because you seperate yourselves from the rest of the standard salons and make yourself a higher standard because you wont let a bit of manual filing get you down??????
If you can get a BEAUTIFUL ENHANCEMENT from complete manual filing, then you have great skill!!!!! if you have to use a drill to achieve the same result, then your only half way there.......
REMEMBER, PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE!!!!!!!!!!!
I apologise deeply is i offend any drill users, but this is my honest opinion and to save your own lungs from THAT AWFUL DUST!!!!!!!!! (that stays in the air for up to 40 minutes longer than manual dust!!!!!!!)
