Just checxking things out in case if the lathe turns out to be worn.
I think that it would be easier to do if it still was on trailer.

Don't waste your time.

You can't get the money back out of it, and you won't notice the
difference in accuracy unless the bed is truly at the edge of being
beyond use.

If you can find someone in your area that is competent and equipped to
do a decent job of it, it will cost you several times what the lathe did.

Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional,
illogical liberal minority, and rabidly promoted by an
unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the
proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
