Not to bust your bubble but it is a whole lot more fun leveling a lathe using two levels.
One will work, just takes a lot longer. *Just out of curiousity, what state do you live,
just in case you are like really close to where I live?

Lathes are NOT leveled . You simply take twist out of the bed .
MPR on the saddle , move it left and right to see the wear on
the bed .
If its useable , then

MPR the bed at the head , then move saddle
Right and put some paper shims under the lathe bench on
the right end .


My first heavy lathe , i made a table with tension rods under the
bed
to take out any sag . they were not needed . there is no possible
sag
until you place a 250 lb work piece on the lathe .






BTW , e-welders are all the rage .

For the control . It costs 100 times more $$$ and circuitry
to control the voltage on your old MIG/TIG/stick welders .

I have 5 , Harb'Fright $200 e-welders .
Tiny , narrow , long red box ,
featherweight .
They make the lowest cost MIG power source ...
