Default Any suggestions on how to flatten a hard Arkansas stone?

When the stones are flooded with coolant and a 1/4 mil taken - what heat?
I don't intend to take 1/2" of stone off in a single pass!
One works back and forth.

How about a surface grinder ? Seems like that would be ok -

The concentrated heat could break the stone, causing a rather
catastrophic explosion. I sure wouldn't want to stand downrange when
doing this!
