A long time ago I watched a small automotive machine shop setup and grind a crank. It did not have the follower. The operator had to dial in each set of journals. Once everything was running true, the grinding wheel was moved from journal to journal. I think he did the mains first, then the offsets for the pistons. It would take a day or more to get a crank turned back then.
