Here is my 1972 high school 10K after referb.
I don't know about welding, but Turcite is the usual material to repair the ways. Definitely not an easy or inexpensive option though.Has anyone ever spray welded a lathe way to build it up and than ground the lathe way straight.I have an old South Bend lathe that someone did a lot of tool post grinding on.There is wear under the chuck about twelve inches long.The rest of the way is still straight and not worn.My thought is to repair this area and build a grinder that would ride on the non-worn part of the way to grind the area to be repaired.I have seen shaft bearing surfaces spray welded and than reground to repair the shaft.Thought this might be a way to fix this problem.
