    Get someone who knows how to use the nickle rod and knows how to deal with cast, not every welder can.

    +1.

    I'd be rather hesitant to work a lathe that has been repaired like that.
    Because it is not as strong as it originally was (it's not a weld) and I'd rather not have it coming apart when it is spinnign and I'm in front of it.
