He's probably running the grinder on the tailstock ways, which are
likely to be in better shape than the carriage ways, especially up

Ned, you make a good point I didn't look for. If that's the case, the
ways just might get ground O.K. (assuming any way to make sure that
stone's face is perfectly parallel to the desired angle, and dressed to
match!)

It might not be 'right', but probably not too bad.
