Lathe conversion to linear rails on cross slide. To use it as a CNC cam grinder. This episode is a brief recap and a demonstration of how the finished machine will operate. It illustrates some inherent problems and proposed solutions for driving the cam itself.
I want to turn my electronically controlled lathe into a cam grinding machine which requires the best possible accuracy. When you are chasing tenths slide friction is the enemy of precision so the ball slides are primarily to reduce sliding friction to gain accurate positioning.
I suggest that you view the previous videos first if you have not already done so, to get a better idea of what it is about. At least watch Part 1 which is here

Here is a link to a playlist with videos of previous modifications to this lathe, mainly a conversion to electronic control.
