My understanding of the grind method might be wrong but that was the way back then. My thoughts are placing the stylus about .100 from the point of touch off, that way when turned it will pull the end mill into the wheel and to the end of the flute which would lift the cutter from the grinding wheel. Also as you turn the endmill clock wise it holds it down on the stylus and the wheel. Adjusting the stylus down to bring it closer and cut more till all flutes are the same. Unless you have a left hand spiral.
I'm no machinist so just my thoughts

Mark also on the thought of the wheel holder for my motor, I'm kind of leaning toward the small ER chuck and mounting it to the spindle. One other concern I have is the 3450 rpm and stuck with that. Some of my wheel have better than 10,000 rpm rating and I don't know how great that would be in use.
Just my marbles rattling.
