Hello guys! I recently bought a new lathe it's about 650 kgs. Total length of work from Chuck to the end is 1 meter. While getting out from the wooden crate it fell down only on one side across the Chuck but it is functioning good. I had a test cut on mild steel across a 120 mm length I had a 0.01mm deviation. Today I spotted a rough edge on the top of the bedway and a little bit closer to the chuck the crack that you can see in the picture. I'm not gonna operate the lathe for the next 4 months due to studies but I would like your opinion regarding the crack.How bad is it? Will it propagate? How I could stop it and perhaps fix it? Thank you all in advance!
