Interesting as Lot 2 Daltons are very rare.? They were made in 1913 only and then we don't think for a full year before it was dropped and replaced with the larger Lot 3 lathe. I am puzzled about the device that is bolted to the back side of the saddle with the vertical screw and a link on top.? Looks like something that is attached to the cross slide for some purpose but what its for escapes me.? It would be the item in picture number 3.? Can you explain what its use is.??

I like the saw table very creative:-)? I think this is number 5 or 6 the number of Lot 2 lathes known of.? I have parts to one but the end of the bed were the serial number was busted off at some point in its history.? Jim Veres has the oldest one as his is serial number 25 and I have serial number 36 so this one shown in the picture is a quite late model and maybe the newest of the Lot 2 lathes found. This was the first lathe that Dalton marketed but was quickly upgraded to the Lot 3 as the Lot 2 had a lot of issues with some of its features.? The way the compound slide was attached to the cross slide was a very weak point and overall the lathe was very lightly built and suffered from vibration during cuts.? Were is this lathe located so I can add it to the registry?
