Hi Larry
As to spindle speed. Originally your lathe was set up to run up to 480 rpm. Quite slow. You have drip feed oilers so you can run it faster but 800 is about all the Babbitt spindle bearings are going to like. OXA size quick Change tool post is what you want. Will talk you through installation when you are ready. ?I used to set these up for people but don’t do shop work anymore. ?Also will point out what insert tool holders to get.?

Hey y'all,
New guy here. New to this place & new to machining. (That's not entirely true, I have monkeyed with lots of equipment over the years), but I've never owned anything until now.

So I picked up this Dalton Six B-4, and I think it's a lot 5, SN# 333, but it's hard to read & I don't know what their 6 looks like.

I bought it not really knowing exactly what I was getting, and I ended up with this machine, another smaller one, and a pulley shaft doohickey I've been reading about here.
I was told by the previous owner that it all attached together, but he never actually set it up and plugged her in. I'm guessing it's missing a few pieces.

I bought it to use, but after looking at it I've been wondering if maybe I shouldn't try to restore it as well.

Figured I'd run it past you guys first...

Thanks!
