Thanks Jeff, I’ll look up how to check the bearings.
The carriage does not make full contact with the bed ways. Neither does the tail stock. Look carefully for the transition between where they contact and where they don't for a linear step there, in line with the travel. That will show the amount of wear in the ways. If you can catch it with a fingernail, you have found significant wear.
