My only defense is that it's current location, in my basement, was only "temporary".
5 years later I'm moving it to it's new home, next to my 1967 Series1 J-head Bridgeport, in a new 28ft x 30ft detached garage/shop.
It's a Grizzly 11 x 26 (see attached pic). Not many out there I gather, but it's served me well. 90% of what I do is aluminum and plastic.
It's always cut a slight taper which I attributed to a twist in the bed from not leveling it. But the work I do just didn't matter that much. Once I move it to it's permanent location, I'll be setting it up properly.
The previous owner installed the 6" channel segments you see at the bottom of the bench legs, which put the lathe at the perfect height for my 6ft height.
However, it complicates leveling the bench. I want to install 4 leveling feet, but doing so at the four outside corners, will cause the "inboard channel" to be off the floor, and possibly cause the bench to "rack". Putting leveling feet at all 8 corners of the channel is a bit much.
Any ideas?
