Hi, I am narrowing my lathe search. A 10L is #1 on my list, but usually a little over budget. Machines with some bed wear are less money. For a large part of what i want to do this should not be a problem, but I would still like good ways for some 4-10"long precision threads and shafts for future projects. My questions are if I send the ways out to get reground, or plained can I just bolt it all back together? The head stock seems to sit on the ways, does all the parts just sit .00xx" lower or do other portions require work? Is this expensive to have done? It would be nice to get a 10L now & in a year or three I could spend 600-800$ on it if need be. Thanks for your help, Jim. PS: I hope I posted this to the correct area.
