Buy extended endmill holders and grind a flat on the shank of the

I suppose that means I need to buy a diamond grinding wheel
to grind a flat on carbide endmill? Why don't they come with flats?

A silicon (green) wheel will grind carbide. They usually don't have
flats because there are better ways of holding endmills than with a
setscrew. At the high end, they use heat shrink tool holders.
