Hi Larry
?
No its not important only tells me when the lathe
was built.? So if you patent tag is on the change door then your lathe was
built after 1918.? OK next question.? How is the half nut handle
afixed to the shaft?? There are three versions.?? The first one
the Handle is held on with a pin pressed through the handle hub.? Second
one the handle has a keyway and there is a set screw that holds it on to the
half nut shaft.? The last one has the keyway but there is a boss cast onto
the handle hub that is split and there is a slotted screw that clamps the handle
hub onto the shaft. This was the last design and was used to the end of
production of the Lot 4 lathes as well as the Lot 5 6 and 8 machines. We only
think the 9 1/2 inch machine is Lot 8 we have not proved that yet as we only
have one example here at my shop and one in Washington?State but
so?far that guy I cant even make him?understand were the lot and
serial number is located.? Thats the 9 1/2 inch I am trying to talk him out
of but he's not much of a communicator.
?
Let me know if I can be of any help with
your?lathe work Larry.

Dennis?

Hi Larry
?
Yes I have the only stock of spare
parts.? If your latest patent date is 1917 then I bet the patent
tag is on the tail stock and not on the gear door
right????
?
Larry I have I think parts to 22
Daltons.? Complete machines in some cases but mostly just parts
lathes that were not complete when I got them.? I do have some
change gears but hate to let any go especially a complete set.?
You can also get gears from Boston or Browning as they still make 20
pitch 14 1/2 degree change gears that you can use.? My very first
Dalton the one you see on the home page of Andy Sargents web site most
of the change gears on that lathe I got from Boston gear.? When I
restored that lathe the only ones Andy and I knew of was his and
mine.? That was almost ten years ago and now I think we have
found over 110 machines now with an example of every model Dalton
made.? We have found six of the combination machines but only two
of the Lot 8 9 1/2 inch swing 48 inch bed models.? I have one and
the other one I am trying really hard to purchase but? have not
talked the owner into it yet."-))? His is incomplete as is mine
but the two would make one very complete cabinet based overhead silent
chain drive model.? Very much like the one you see on my flicker
photo site.? Just a lot bigger.
?
As to the collet setup there are several
of the guys that have the draw bar setup like you see on the 1922
machine.? The only known lever collet closer setup is owned by a
fellow in Indiana.? I have not seen it personally but I do have
pictures of it.? Here is a picture of what it looks
like.

Hi Dennis
Beautiful job. I didn't know there was a collet
attachment. Interesting.
On another note, I bought a Dalton B-4
with latest patent date 1917 for a song. Are you the go to guy for
parts (change gears) and rebuild advice.
Nothing serious as she
is in beautiful condition but I will need the gears and advice on
how to mount the jack shaft. another winter project among many
others.
Thanks
Larry
