Hi Alan

?

OK you have a Lot 6 or the 8 ? inch swing lathe with a 36 inch bed.? I have two of these myself.? There are no manuals or how to use manual for any of the Daltons least any that we have ever found.? Your best bet on an operational manual is to acquire a copy of how to run a lathe by South Bend lathe.? Much of what you see in this booklet will apply to your Dalton.? So did you get the change gears with the lathe?? Also look at the very end of the bed tail stock end and you will find the Lot # and a serial number. Picture is what your lathe looked like when new.?? Dennis

Hello,

My name is Alan I inherited a Dalton B 6 lathe and am going to go through the restoration process, I am a mechanic by trade and am not a machinist. I received this from an uncle who purchased it from the U.S Navy. He was a machinist mate and learned his military trade on a Dalton lathe in the 1930's. My uncle used to make things on this lathe for my bicycles, go karts and motorcycles. I am hoping that there is some operator/repair manuals available so I can restore and use this lathe. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Alan
