The other problems besides the sparks are: the nasty burr left by the grinding; I worry about heating up the pins and what that is doing to the bridge cap. In any case, I still use a 3 1/2 grinder and a "flex disk" to start, and finish with a hand file. To take care of the sparks, I mask off the soundboard - which is a hassle I'd rather do without.
