New Lathe owner Dalton 6


 

Hello Dalton Folks

I found this lathe in Grass Valley, California for $300. Posted a photo album "daron dalton 9x4" No gears but includes lot of tooling. I just wanted something for making nicer aluminum spacers and lightening gears for Alfa Romeo gearboxes. I have no idea how to lathe so it will be an adventure. It was very rusty when I got it but cleaning up to working state. Crossfeed lead nut worn and has some slop.

Trying to understand how to operate the powered cross-feed independently of the main feed. I suspect the "clutch" is stuck so may have to take the apron off and tinker a bit there.

regards Daron?
