When you get your tool post kit the Tee bolt that holds the tool post to the top slide has to be fit to your Tee slot.? This requires the use of a mill.? Dennis.

Thanks for the input
I’m going to get one of those tool posts
And I have #37!!!!!
?
Also note there is a spacer under the tool post on the Lot 5. You should not need this on your Lot 2.
Lot 2 lathes were built in 1913 and are six inch swing lathes where later lathes in this series were 7 1/4 swing.? As to parts I have a few Lot 2 parts left from two parts lathes I have.. As to a tool post the OXA size quick change tool post is your best bet.? I have used this size tool post on my Lot 5 as well as my Dalton Lot 6 lathe with great results. Pictures show an OXA on a Lot 5 lathe.? Also a picture of my Lot 2 serial number 36.?
Hello, I just came across a lot 2 Dalton lathe and want to add a tool post to this. I am looking for some feedback on what others have done. I’m also interested in a 4” Chuck for this.? Does anyone have parts for these lathes?
I’m glad I found this group so I can ask more questions pertaining to these vintage, unique lathes.
