Default Cracked cast iron frame
fired this volley in
:

Can this be repaired or is this thing done for?
My understanding of welding cast iron is that it is not a free lunch.

Mike, it's a frigging lemon press! G

Dump the $20 and find an arbor press for that sort of work. You'll spend
more than $20 on time and materials trying to fix it, and it won't last;
not under that sort of force. The screw exerts more side-thrust than
down force!
