1) How to accurately line up the beds before bolting them down on the
table?
2) How to match/test centers in head and tail stocks? Given that I can
only do cutting on the first bed. The lead screw and the rack do not
extend to the second bed.

The best way to accomplish the goal you have set out to
achieve is to:

a) raise mini-lathe up about two feet off of bench.
b) translate it to the right about 5 feet.
c) install larger lathe in location previously occupied by
mini-lathe.
