John the knob between the hand wheel on the left and the half nut lever on the right is your power feed control.? You tighten the knob and it will engage the cone clutch on the worm gear drive on the back side of the apron. Here is a picture of the back side of your apron John.? This shows the worm that is driven by the keyway in the lead screw that drives the worm gear that the cone clutch is in.? You can’t see it but behind the large worm gear is another gear that engages the saddle longitudinal feed. Dennis

By-the-way, given that the lead screw has a keyway, I assume that it has power longitudinal feed driven by the keyway rather than the half nut.? How is that engaged as all the apron has is the half nut lever and a carriage lock knob.?

Hello Group,

?

It is time to get back to this Dalton.? I? sent a photo or two to Dennis in the past, but I cannot retrieve that correspondence.? Please I identify the lot number for me.? There are no numbers on the end of the bed.? Also, are there any thread dials or at least gears remaining to make one. It is a 12 tpi lead screw.

Many Thanks,
