Re: Dalton 6, B-4 lot 5?


 

There are 15 change gears.? two 24 tooth? 30 32 36 40 42 44 46 48 52 56 60 72 and 96. The 96 is not used with any threading, rather it is used for slow feed.? You compound the 72 and 24 on the gear bracket arm a 24 on the?stud position?and the 96? on the lead screw. This is the slowest feed you can get.? ?I think I? have the gear teeth count correct.? Working from memory here:-))))? As to my Daltons they are only show pieces.? I have every one of the Dalton lathe models though I do not have a Lot 1 that's the large combination machine.? ?There are only a few of them known to exist. I do have a Lot 6 that I used for a couple of years at my Oregon coast home.? Built a couple of model steam engines with it.? The lot 6 and Dalton 9 are real sweet lathes to use.? Picture is of my Lot 6 I set up to use.? This lathe was purchased by a retired tool maker in Seattle Washington in late 1929. It stayed in the family till the late 80's when it was sold to a fellow in Issaquah?Washington?who then sold it to me so I am the third owner.

Yes I have some change gears. Haven't gotten that far yet though.
It came with a newer electric motor and a variable switch for speed. Someone made a V pulley for it to accept standard belts.

So the belt adjuster pulley doohickey I have (attached pic) is just to change speeds it appears.
Original owner talked about how the two units (with the other smaller lathe that came with it) tied together somehow with the doohickey, but I'm guessing now that is incorrect?

So it looks like I bought 2 seperate Dalton lathes.

Boy yours are purdy Dennis!?
I gotta clean these things up?
Thanks for the reply!
