I had a little accident involving a fork lift and one of my glass lathes.

What is a glass lathe?


End result was one of the cranking wheels to move the carriage was broken.
The spokes broke free of the hub. I believe it is cast aluminum.

What would be the best way to fix it other than something like JB Weld?

You could probably have it TIG welded (or even MIG welded) if, in fact, it
is aluminum and not some kind of pot metal. If your shop is capable, you
could machine a new one. Or you could buy a generic replacement.
