Cam bearing issue

Not sure how my shop does mine. I’ll have to ask. You can take an old cam, cut grooves in the journals at a 45 degree angle with a die grinder and “ream” them at home. Haven’t had to myself but I’d do it in a heartbeat if I needed to instead of dropping the block back off.
Is this something that's common? I don't know how comfortable I am with cutting my bearings lol.
It's just a scary thought
