The first time I burnt my fingers I went and got a dunk bucket. Grind until it's warm then quick dunk to cool it off and continue.
Also picked up some cutoff bits for my dremel tool today. First attempt was with a metal cutting blade on my sawzall. Got 2 blades glowing hot while trying to cut an 8" piece off the barstock. Got the job done, but it wasn't pretty.
