I don't know if anyone has responded yet but I'll offer a couple of suggestions. I've been watching a good many brazing videos lately since I'll have to braze the belt guards for my Dalton lathe and

The hole on top of your tail stock is a reservoir for white lead. White lead was used as a lubricant for dead centers. The pin you show does not make any sense as the dobber that was in the hole

That is a tool for greasing a dead center. To: "DaltonLathes" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 4, 2025 6:21:07 PM Subject: Re: [DaltonLathes] Lot 4 tailstock screw broken Hey

Hey Dennis I was just looking at the tailstock on my 9 inch dalton and I noticed it had a removable plug on it out of all the daltons I have or seen this is the only one I have. Yahoo Mail:

OK you can repair the screw. You need to make a replacement end to replace the broken one. By facing off the broken part of the screw up to the larger diameter that passes through the screw in end

Jerry, This sounds like good advice. I’m not really a machinist and really use this lathe for random repair projects. What you are suggesting to occur to me, but is really beyond my skills. I’m

Hi Aaron, An easy fix would be to drill that broken end of the shaft out, tap it, and screw in another threaded piece with an oversize diameter, with threadlocker. After that cross drill and ream

I’ve owned this Dalton six b-4 lot 5 s/n 294 for almost 20 years. I’ve always used it gently knowing how old it is, but today its age finally caught up to me. The screw that drives the tail stock

After reading your experience with abused SB draw bars I measured this one again, at the open end and again at the inside end of the threads.? It's bell-mouthed. Thanks for the tip. Peter

Hi Dennis, Thanks for all the information.? The odd thing about my collets is that they seem to be .004 - .005 undersized from the advertised dimensions for thread diameter and shaft diameter.?

One other thing I forgot. The end gear on the end of the spindle is also special as it has an extended sleeve that supports the lever operated closer to the end of the spindle. The lathe in the

Some additional information. A lever operated collet closer had to be ordered when purchasing a Dalton lathe. The casting that supports the end door hinge for a lever operated collet closer lathe is

Hi Peter I have Dalton as well as SB and Hardinge 3C collets. They only vary a couple of thousands in outside thread diameter but that is not the critical dimension. The pitch diameter of the thread

Well... I've got a problem.? I ordered a 3C Collet Draw Bar from Ebay that is a bit longer than the Dalton draw bar I have.? I chose to do this because I didn't want to butcher the Dalton draw bar

It will not be as convenient but you can add a witness mark on the other side so you can use the degree marks as they are on your lathe. Knowing how the degree graduations and numbers were roll

That won't work. You could shorten the shoulder of the draw tub that buts up against the end of the spindle to add length to the tube, The original collet adapters were not very hard and did not

Dennis - It's painfully obvious after looking at the adapter why I can't just cut off the flange.? It's easier for me to make a draw bar that works with the adapter I have then to scour the planet

Dennis, thank you for clarifying. I see the difference between the scraped surface on the cross slide in your pic and the flaking on my lathe. Is it normal for someone to flake the backside of the

Thanks Dennis - I am using the wrong adapter.? My draw bar looks like the picture you posted.? Finding the correct original equipment adapter could be quite a challenge.? Perhaps I can make this

As to a shorter spindle yes the Lot 2 was a bit shorter but the Lot 3 4 and 5 all have the same length spindle. The picture shows what an original Dalton draw bar looked like. They all had the red
