Funny coincidence, see my post in "Power Tools" called adventures in rehab.
You can get replacement parts from griz; if the cost is right, you could save a bit versus tossing everything.
How did it crack? If it's a defective casting, maybe you get get a replacement for free.
If it is not on warranty or it will take to long to get parts, go to a professional machine shop. You will need to dismantle and take them the part needing repair. I damaged my jointer (stupid mistake) and am having some machining done to repair the problem. I believe mine will be fixed before the manuf returns the call with a price/time for a replacement piece.
Just an idea
