Re: New lathe

 

Hi Dan
Dalton hever had a manual or at least any that we have ever found.? Your best bet is South Bend lathe's how to run a lathe and also the Atlas operation manual.? Both are very revallent to the Dalton lathe design. As to gears for threading and different speeds for power feeding they are hard to come by.? Unless anyone?in the group has some extras you?will not find any on the internet.? The gears are 14 1/2 degree?pressure?angle and diametral?pitch is 20. Let us know the serial number and also the Lot number.? PIctures are always welcome. Some of the guys have?had luck making gears by 3D printing ones they needed.? ?Also let us know what?gears you do have.? There are 15 gears in the Dalton set of change gears.?

I have just obtained a Dalton Six Type B-4.? I am a complete newbie to machine work but want to learn.? I am seeking information about instruction manuals, sources of extra gears for the power feed attachment, and suggestions for a basic ¡®how to¡¯ text for operating lathes for making small parts.
