Grinding Cast Iron? : castiron reddit
This is the exact method I used to do a couple of old rough cast iron skillets I found at Goodwill/Arc/Salvation Army etc. This guy gets it. Lodge used to machine their stuff like the old Wagners and Griswolds, but they stopped due to production costs and claims that the bumpy stuff holds seasoning better, as /u/jaba1337 pointed out.. IF you are going to do this, WEAR YOUR PPE!
