The difference is between holding the hot bit versus the grinder. They
slip in Visegrips. An Armstrong type holder works well for roughing if
you don't mind scratching it with the wheel occasionally, but they
don't give a good sensitive feel for finishing.

My photo shows smooth continuous ground surfaces without the usual
multiple small facets from hand grinding. I do that by letting the bit
float slightly in my fingers so it touches the wheel all over. I press
the end against the motor housing first to align it and try to hold
that angle while grinding. The hollow-ground ends are easy to hone at
only the cutting edge.
