    Pretty typical of the runout on those pencil grinders, the collets aren't very precision.
    A careful whack and a diamond truing of the wheel will help out a lot to get a good finish.

    I've done similar grinding by just putting the grinder in the toolpost directly. and carefully tightening the setscrews down on the grinder body.
    Not precision grinding just a gotta get it done job.
