If it is in a solid form and is grinded, it will release lots of harmful dust, if you breath in that dust it can cause berylliosis and lung cancer, if it is a clean cut, it will release little dust, and won’t be nearly as harmful as it being grinded, it could not even be noticeable if it is very little.
