Bone
I make parts for my own guitars. Now, rosewood is called rosewood because it smells (faintly) of roses when it's cut/sanded. It's quite pleasant. I use bone for nuts and saddles. I found out the hard way that I should use hand tools so that it doesn't overheat. One day I took the idea that I should grind a saddle to shape and thickness rather than using my usual method of filing and sanding.
Semi-burning hot bone smells like the arse of satan would if he was popping his demonic infected piles with red-hot needles and spraying the hot pus directly up your nostrils. Worse than that, the smell lingers in yur clothes/hair/furnishings for fucking ages.

Erm
Is there a reason not to use a wet grinder ?

I don't own one
I now use files/saws to get the shape and wet&dry (used wet) for thicknessing.

Well done
I've just done a bit of sick in my mouth while giggling at the phrase "popping his demonic infected piles with red-hot needles and spraying the hot pus directly up your nostrils."
