He's probably running the grinder on the tailstock ways

I might have to take that back... PT later on down mentioned that the L&S
carriage runs on both front and back ways.

He's not running on the functional surfaces of the ways at all:

Even though he claims those surfaces are ground in the same setup as
the working surfaces, I'd be concerned how much care was taken
grinding the non-functional surfaces. And the rollers have the
disadvantage of transferring small irregularities to the grinding
wheel. I guess the cost-benefit calculation has to include how bad the
worn really ways are, and what you're hoping for after the regrind.

Omigod. Is he rolling that contraption on the TOPS of the Vs? If so,
good luck Charlie...
