Hi Chrism
?
Yes a Dalton B-4 has a swing of 7 1/4 inches.?
These are the Lot 2 3 4 and Lot 5 lathes.? A ?B-6 Dalton has a?
swing of 8 1/2 inches and is known as the Lot 6.? We think the 9 1/2 inch
is a Lot 7 or 8 as we have never found one.? The Dalton six refuses to the
number of speeds the lathe spindle will run at. We have no records of a 6 inch
swing lathe ever being built.?
?
Welcome to the group and by the way you need to let
Andy Sargent know your lot and serial number as well as your name and location
for the registry.

Subject: [daltonlathes] Hi, brand new
member, but don't ask where my Dalton is at the current moment
...cuz I'm too embarrassed to say :+. Anyway, can someone tell me
about
the different swings on these lathes. I was of the impression
that there
was a model with a 6" swing (a Dalton Six?). The one I
have...and I
repeat, I won't tell where it's at...has just shy of an
8" swing IIRC.
Most of the pictures in the gallery resemble mine.
Any Merry Christmas by
the way.
