[Beginner] Is it healthy for a lathe to run the head stock at an angle

Hello everyone! 

 I have been following the forums for some time now but I never posted until now. 

I got into cnc machining last year and I'm building my first cnc lathe at the moment.

I would say I have most things mechanically figured out regarding the build but one thing in particular keeps bugging me. My lathe is Proxxon's 250/e, a pretty small hobby machine.

The problem lays in that I am taking the head stock of the lathe and I'm going to attach it to a sliding table that I constructed with linear rails and ball screws. The electric motor that runs the lathe is annoyingly placed right below the chuck on the side, and because of this, there isn't enough clearance for the new sliding table that I built. 

I have considered ways around this issue but given it's my first time doing this, I would like to get opinions from folks wiser and more experienced than myself. The idea that makes most sense to me at the moment is to put the original head stock at an angle and resolve the issue that way, but I am not even sure if this would be healthy for the machine? Can the head stock run properly at a 45° angle?

 I would greatly appreciate and welcome a response!

Only thing that comes to mind is oiling issue - if there is an oil sump.
If it's small enough it may be grease only.
