If you push anything into a grinder with force you're asking for trouble, a gentle approach allow the grinder to cut without load will see you right, just ask Linno as he cut the slots in his own bubble caps under my supervision without drama and it only took 15 minutes to do the slots in four 50mm caps.
It's only as dangerous as you allow it to be.
