It doesn't have a gap bed? Have you looked? I know smaller lathes often don't have this feature (none of mine do), but 10inch is approaching commercial size. The PM1440 does, but I have not used it. I'm a bit paranoid about removing a precision section of the bed and being able to get it back in place accurately enough. May be more me than the machine, but...
The mill is barely tall enough to face or rebore an air compressor cylinder block.
If you have a swing head you can machine off the side of the table for taller parts. The setup is a bear, but I have confidence in your ability to wrestle a bear. Being a smaller machine than mine that capability is less, but it is still there.
