There are specialty graphite companies that can do intense 3D machining. If you can give them specs, they can cut it , turn it, whatever you need. My first step was to seal the graphite with varnish to lock the particles. It now handles like a clean material. Raw graphite is dirty as all get out. If I were planning to work it with a power tool I would use a HEPA grade respirator, the ones with the pleated dust filters. The common hardware store dust masks are passable for drywall sanding and coarse sawdust, barely. But grind graphite at home ? Yow..... you'de never get the soot off.
