Re: Confirming this is a Dalton
开云体育Gareth here are a couple of pictures of one of our other Dalton 10 inch machines.? The first one is also included a bench model I found in Florida about 20 years ago. Tried to purchase it but the seller would not ship it. ?We have also lost track of it so have no idea of what ever happened to it.? ? The odd thing about the 10 inch lathe is the compound slide and the cross slide as its made just like the Lot 2 lathe and till this ten inch showed up we have ever seen another model use that style of compound mounting.? On the lot 2 it was not successful and so the Lot 3 lathe later that year (1913) was changed.? The end door also is a puzzle to us as it used the patent hinge that is on the Dalton TL lathe and that patent date is 1922. Mitch Nash has the only complete Dalton 10 and also on it all castings had the word Dalton were ground off.? Also no serial number.? This would indicate that these larger lathes were prototypes that were sold off at the end of production in 1929.? We think this was to gain some small amount of revenue.? With no name or serial number three would be no tractability.? Also Mitch Nash’s lathe has? a thread chart but the upper part where the company name and address would have been was cut off.? Gareth I have two Dalton 9 parts lathes so down the road we can look to see if any of the cross slide and compound parts can be used on your lathe.? ? It’s really interesting guys that we now have three of these really rare lathes show up.? I really think given the quality of the Lot 6 lathe and also the Dalton 9 inch lathe this 10inch lathe would have been a real success if it had not been for the stock market crash of 1929. ? Dennis ?

were built. It will be a couple days before I can check the lead screw size.
I'm missing the gear cover that goes on the end, the compound rest is missing,
The chuck is in bad shape and the cross slide gib isnt in very good shape. I
think thats all I'm missing. I'm also curious what the holes in the legs were
for they are on both sides. thanks |
