Abstract
Plural spaced actuators mounted along a first axis are used to control machine tool motion along a first axis. The plural actuators are used in synchronism to create linear motion of the machine tool and the tool tip mounted on the machine tool along the first axis. The plural actuators are used differentially to create angular motion of the tool tip about an axis which is orthogonal to the first axis in order to correct angular errors in the axis of the tool.
