Re: Belt on Dalton B-4 owned by Andy Sargent
Unfortunately Nick Dalton lathes are not the only
lathes I have collected.? SB, Logan, Shedd, Champion, Atlas, Drummond,
Adept, Flexispeed ,Whitaker and Wilson and Star.? Not to mention the
shapers."-)))? So many machines so little time.

Hi Dennis,
?
? 19 lathes! I thought I was bad when I had 16! Good luck with the
museum, and the work, hopefully it'll all work out in the end. Trust me from
experience, OSHA likes to work it out...in the end!

Hi Nick
?
Thanks but do you really think a guy with I
think 19 Daltons needs any more????????????"-)))))))))? I
just sold a very nice one and it only left a very small hole in the Turk
works storage facility."-)))))?
?
This next winter I am really going to
concentrate on cleaning up the peddle Dalton and finish the restoration of
Greg Fosmarks Lot 6 serial number 7014 and get it mounted on the cast iron
cabinet that is already done and sitting in my office at work.? I will
wont to go to work on the 9 1/2 inch when I get back from my trip
also.? The fellow I got that lathe from saved it from the dump as he
said he stopped by to see his mother and his step father was trying to get
it into a trailer so he could trash it.? Josh is afraid that he has
already disposed of accessories and parts that went to it.? I have been
invited to come over and look through all his grandfathers junk to see if I
can spot anything that belongs to the lathe.? Seams his grandfather had
a number of lathes and he is not sure what goes to what.? That is if
there is anything at all left.? He did say there was a drive for it as
he knew his grandfather used it but he said he cant seam to find the drive
now and fears it has been taken to the dump already.? Shame as there
goes the cone pulley.?
?
On another note the Turk works museum is under
renovation at Turk Mfg.? Business is a little slow right?now so we
put one of our guys to work cleaning up the 20 by 20 room that will be setup
as a little museum.? I was at work yesterday and Troy had it all
scrubbed clean and was repairing wall damage and masking things.? I did
pick?up a five gallon bucket of paint on the way to work so by the time
I get back?from the trip?East I should be able?to start
moving machines in and hanging some of my?collection of pictures of old
machine shops and line?shaft setups.?? In this room I will be
able to setup some of the machines that can run.? With the OSHA laws
here in Oregon I have not mounted any motors on most of the machines.?
If they have a motor I either dont have a cord on it or a drive belt.?
Inspectors take a very dim view of open belts even if you try and convince
them its not a production machine.? There comments is it could run and
could be used so is unsafe.? Smack a $25,000 fine.? With things
setup as a museum then I will be able to run some of them.? Machines
like my Atlas and SB shapers can be run as they have guards on them but not
the open belt machines.? If anyone gets up to the Northwest do stop by
and pay us a visit.
?
My system guy has setup a new web site for Turk
Mfg. and in the near future there will be a link to the museum.? I will
keep you guys up to date as to when that happens so you can take a
look.

Hi Dennis,

incredible. I believe the width is 15/16" not 1" which makes a big

Hello everybody,
I have a quick question. I was on the
Oldarn website when I came
across pictures of Andy Sargent's B-4.
What caught my attention was the
belt on the unit. It is green and
yellow. Here is the link... even
though I think everyone has seen
it
Is this still a leather
belt with a felt like underside? Does
anyone know where I could get
this belt? The one on mine is making
me a bit nervous. It seems that
the staple or whatever it is has a
rather large gap. Thanks for the
help.

10 photos of the lathe I received from Dennis. Just dismantling it
and preparing to clean her up.

Greetings everybody.
Dennis, again I would like to thank you for your hospitality and kindness yesterday. I completely enjoyed the tour of your facilities and all the amazing machines and stories
you shared with me.
I am sure it is public knowledge, but if not, Dennis is a true gentleman. It pleases me to no
end that there is a group of people out there that are saving and restoring antique
machine tools. I am very grateful that Dennis was willing to part with such a beautiful
machine as well as share his expertise with a newbie like myself.
I will post photos as soon as I get her cleaned up.

Hi all
Well we have a new Dalton guy that just got his lathe tonight. I
sold
Tai West a very nice original approx 1924 Lot 4 lathe and I believe
the serial number was 4280. No dings in the bed ways and you can see
original scraping over 80% or better of the bed. The spindle
bearings look really good and still had some shim. Spindle bearing
journals were smooth and no scoring. The spindle thread looked like
new and the chuck fit tight as drum. He got a complete set of change
gears with the lathe as well as a three jaw chuck original tool post
and a few tool holders. He also got the original cone counter shaft
pulley and the original counter shaft bearing standards. Really kind
of hated to see the lathe go but one must pass on these machines to
willing and able new owners.
I got this lathe a couple of years ago right after I finished up John
Glands Dalton restoration. John picked the lathe up and shipped it
on to me. One of the very best I have. As I have so many of them I
figure we need to pass some along to younger guys that are interested
in restoration and maybe just a little use of the machine after
completion.
I hope Tai adds a few pictures to the photo file after he gets the
lathe home and cleaned up. He should be about 1/4 the way back to
Seattle about now.

Dalton lathe needs a good new home.
Hi everyone, I have an old Dalton Model Six lot 4 lathe that I am
selling on eBay.
I must admit I didn't really know anything about it until I posted it
for sale. I have been using it in my garage to fabricate and modify
parts over the last couple of years. I bought it from an engineer
that worked for GE in Cincinnati, OH. and when I moved to Cape Coral,
FL it followed me here.
Check out my listing if you are interested. eBay item 320242112156 I
also have a bunch of photos here:
Email me with any questions you might have and I will do my best to
answer them.
I would like to see this great old machine go to a collector that will
enjoy it!

That tool post works great on my B-4.? I use two different tools for making the fife ferrules, One to turn and taper to final diameter and another for making scored lines.? Turning one Nickel Silver ferrule complete witih the Dalton takes about 4 minutes. So every 4 minutes I have two tool changes.? I'll be turning tonight and will take some pictures of what this tool post looks like mounted on the Dalton
?
I have also thought of getting one of these for my South bend.

I have purchased several of Little machineshop Phase II hobby tool post but I have used them on 9 inch South Bend workshop lathes but not on a Lot 4 Dalton.? They work great on a Lot 6 ?8-1/2 inch lathe but I think they are a little overkill on a Lot 2-3-4?or Lot 5?7-1/4 inch machine.? Not to mention they are almost two times the price though they are a very high quality tool post. The smaller $89 dollar plunger model I find is well suited to the Lot?2-3-4-and 5?lathe and though not near the quality of the Phase II it is a good value for the dollar and will work great on your small lathe.

I purchased a Phase II Hobby Toolpost from Littlemachineshop.com
and its wotking out fine for me. made from hardened steel
ProductID=2401&category=-419988835
Had to make/modify the flat nut that fits into the bottom slot of the
dalton. If I recall correctly I made a new one out of flat steel so
it fits in the slot

Hi All, forgive me if this message appears twice I haven't got the hang
of this site yet (what do you expect from a retired IBM engineer?).
Thank you Dennis for your comments and help in dating my LOT2 Dalton.
To answer your query my lathe requires a nose piece for holding the
collets. This was unfortunately missing but when I looked in the box of
collets there was a bright shiny one I made all those years ago and
which I had clean forgotten about.
Regards to all,
Ron Wright.

Well now Mr. Wright has a very rare Dalton indeed. Also one of the
most complete Lot 2 machines we have seen. As top collector of
Dalton's I only have a few parts to one but he has the complete lathe with lots of bits and pieces. Looks Good Ron and thanks for posting pictures.
One other thing Ron does your lathe have a nose piece to hold the
collets or do they seat right into the end of the spindle. I have a Lot 2 spindle were Dalton put the collet seat right into the spindle in place of the 3MT. I have never seen another one like it.

Hi everyone, My name is Ron Wright from Worcestershire England. I
have
just added pics of my LOT2 No-205. I bought it as a box of bits
about 18 years ago. I have several lathes so this one is simply a collectors
item. It came with chuck, face plate, 32 collets and closer and
30 change wheels. Only just found this site so didn't know Dalton's
had an
enthusiastic following.
