That’s what I’m thinking I’m going to locktight and roll pin it toocut it off at the bend and duplicate the stub, drill and tap the new stub
drill and tap the remainder, make a stud and locktite a into the new stub and hope for the best
Never ceases to amaze me that something dropped, crashed, thrown, or otherwise violently impacted will result in such a graceful bend yet if you tried to do it on purpose it’d look like a dog’s hind leg!
Almost looks like a separate extension piece on it already — cut the offending part off and thread a new one on?

Thank you!!!!! Luckily everything has been fairly easy. I’m having a bit of an issue with the dial on the cross slide and the tail stock the set screws seemed to have backed off and they freely turn on the shafts I can’t seem to get them separated to get to the dang set screws.I've got the same lathe at work, mine is D1-6 spindle nose and MT4 in the tailstock...…...let me know if you need any information.
