The idea I get from your posts is to make a sleeve that has the ID
that would fit the OD of the balls. chuck up the shaft and with
balls, slide the cup/sleeve over the ballscrew, with balls inside.
now, the sleeve OD would be concentric to the minor dia of the
ballscrew. hold that sleeve in the streadyrest and turn the bearing
and pulley end of that section.
