Just realized I've cut over 10,000 square feet of LVP planks this month alone. My thumbs are numb.

Wait, 10,000 square feet in a month? That's a whole warehouse.

So you're basically a human paper cutter now? I bet your thumb feels like it's been replaced with a piece of wood. What are you even building, a floor for a football field?

Yeah, I had that same numb thumb feeling when I was helping my brother re-side his garage. Jade's right about the blade. I switched to a carbide-tipped one and it was like night and day. The saw just glided through instead of fighting me, and my hand stopped cramping up after an hour. It's worth the extra few bucks to save your joints.

Feel that in my soul. Honestly think that's a sign you need a better blade or a different saw. My hands used to go numb all the time until I switched tools. A sharp blade makes a cleaner cut with way less pressure. Makes a huge difference on a big job like that.
