can you grind cast? or am I just oissing againt the wind trying?

Yes, you can.

In fact its about the only sort of machining that works on it IIRC.


Cast iron used in brake discs and flywheels in grey cast iron, or crank
shafts and wheel hubs in nodular cast iron can be machine turned & milled
easily.
