Repairing Atlas 10" lathe

[Ross77]

Here is my rather poorly Atlas 10" thats needs some work.

I was given it because the previous owner needed to do an emergency repair to some bike brake parts and cut two grooves in the bed to get them in.

I have also added to the problem (bad advice from welder) and had the bits welded back in, which as you would expect its now a bannana :sad:

So I believe my options are;

1 - replace bed
2 - shorten the bed
3 - make new bed with linear rails and cnc it

Open to other ideas...........................
