This is most interesting.? What I find so interesting is the
thread dial looks very close to the Dalton one in design.?? Meany thread dials
use a straight cut gear and angle the body or the vertical gear and face plate
shaft.? I don’t think my gear is any different other than the shape of the gear
tooth itself.? What Dalton did and I did also was use a 60 degree included
angle cutter much like a woodruff keyway cutter.? In the case of the thread
dial gear that engages the lead screw a gear tooth profile is not important at
all.? I have seen one a guy made by using only small diameter pins to make the
teeth.? What is important is the width of the gear face.? Remember your Lot 5
lathes have a keyway that must be bridged by the width of the tooth.? Lot 2 3
and 4 I have seen were a guy used a clock gear that was made of brass and was very
thin. ?So on these three early models the width of the gear is not important at
all.
?
In the case of this Grizzly thread dial I am going to guess that
the angle of the gear shaft is such that the body takes care of the angle and
as such would be mounted on a horizontal pin attached to the apron.? I would
really like to see one of these to see if it can be used on the Dalton apron.?
For sure the gear can and the vertical shaft and dial? face also.? Not historically
correct but if it functions correctly and you want to cut threads on your
Dalton this would work.? As stated only the mounting to the apron would be the
question.? I think if the mounting is way off then a small adapter plate could
be made up.? Remember only the height of the mounting bolt is important the
distance from the mounting bolt to the lead screw is not nearly as important
and could have some variance and still work.?
?
Remember that the angle of the thread lead on the lead screw is
only a few degrees and as such a straight tooth gear can be mounted were its
horizontal to the lead screw and still work just fine.? What is more important
is the shape of the gear tooth and that is what Dalton did and I did also as
the Dalton and my dial are mounted with the gear horizontal to the lead screw
and the tooth shape takes care of the angle.
?
Including a short video if it will go as its 3MB and maybe to
big a file.? Also a picture of an original thread dial with gear and the ones
we made.
?
On last thing Dan I have a bunch of pictures showing the process
of machining the body blank after it came off the CNC lathe.? Also a number of
pictures showing how Ratshooter made the really trick setup in his BP mill to
scribe the witness lines as we as how he held the number punch so accurately.?
All very simple setups and could be done in a drill press or a mill drill
machine.? If you would like to include these in the file section I can send
them to you-----if my email would work Grrrrrrr? Need to do a test and see if I
can get an email to you Dan as I can’t to Glen.

I don't? know if this info is useful, but I'll put it
out there.
The Grizzly 602 lathe has a 12tpi lead screw if my research is accurate.? They
also offer a thread dial.? To be clear, this is not a direct fit and may
not even be useable.
That said, while you can buy the whole assembly for $116, you can also buy the
individual parts for less and I think many of them have the potential to lend
themselves to building a Dalton thread dial.
Here's the parts page:?
The pic labelled "Apron" has a rough drawing of the thread dial.
P0602027 is the gear.? It's a 48 tooth.? ?I ordered one just for
giggles since it was cheap.? It looks like it would kinda sorta work,
although probably not worth the effort as long as you can get gears from
Dennis.? Sorry my pics are awful.??
  
You can see on the second picture, it doesn't align perfectly perpendicular to
my lead screw, but it seems to mesh reasonably well if you were to angle the
shaft slightly from vertical.
I'm sure Dennis' gears are a way better match and as long as he makes them
available, that's definitely the way to go.??
But the reason for posting is, if you were building a thread dial from scratch,
even with Dennis' gear, some of the other bits Grizzly offers might be
useful.? I doubt the housing they sell will work without significant
modification.? But it still may be easier than building something from
scratch.? Likewise the shaft may work, the dial itself, the little arrow
might be useful to have.? Might be some cheap shortcuts there that are an
alternative to building the whole thing from scratch.? For me, I could
probably build the mechanism, (other than the gear), but I don't have a way to
etch the dial easily, so that dial would be a nice shortcut.
Also possible there may be other parts from other lathes that may fit
better? I don't know a lot about Grizzly's product lines but it appears
their parts are generally reasonably priced and the gear came in a couple days,
which these days is pretty remarkable.? They may be a source of other
parts that can be modified to fit Daltons.
Just food for thought...

Hi Joe
I shipped the guy the worm gear with clutch shaft and knob I may
still have the worm and its mounting casting.? Will have to take a look tomorrow.
I also sold this guy the cone pulley with the back gear but our wonderful UPS
lost it for use and was not interested in finding it only paying me for it.
Bastards you know how rare Dalton 9 parts are.? Grrrrrrrr? I do have another
Dalton 9 but it’s not going to be parted out. It’s the only 36 inch bed model I
believe and its complete with a lever operated collet closer.? That makes two
lever operated collet closers we have found. Ralph Feron in Chicago has one of
a Dalton 4 or 5 and I have this one for a Dalton 9 though it would work on a
Lot 6 also.? Dennis
?
?

Dennis:
I may be the fellow you sent the clutch to. From what you said I thought
that you may have had a complete apron besides what you sent me. I am just
missing the worm gear that mounts on the cone clutch. I wanted to be sure I
understood what parts you had left.
Thanks,
Joe

I suspect they may have been intentionally removed. Perhaps the machine was "surplus " at the shop where the previous owner worked.

it so it can’t come out but unfortunately they did. Dennis

Re: Getting back to my Dalton
John as your lathe has a 12 pitch threading lead screw it
requires a 48 tooth gear to work correctly. It will work with other tooth
numbers but only at one position on the rotation of the dial face and then only
with a 24 or 32 tooth.? If you don’t have a copy go on eBay and see if you can
find a copy of South Bends How to Run a Lathe.? It will have a ton of info you
can use. Dennis
?
?
When I got it I had visions of a shiny jet black finish, but
decided to leave it original.? As long as it stays a little oily, the
unfinished parts won't rust. Yes, the headstock,? tailstock, and bed
reveal no wear to my amateur eyes, so I? am ready to give it some work to
perform. I do have change gears, so I will fit it with a threading dial.?
I saw someone is selling 3d printed thread dials for some Dalton, but they fit
a 3/4 10 lead screw.
By the way, I found the carriage lock as you pointed it
out.? Mine seems to hold snuggly, but I did not test it under load.?

I looked at your two pictures again and blew them up so I could see a lot of
detail.? You lathe appears to be in original Japanning finish and must say
in remarkable condition.? It’s obviously not been allowed any sun light as
sun light or rather UV light destroys japanning.? The only damage I see is
a small corner of the T slot in the cross slide is shipped.? The only
other thing I notice is the oil cups for the spindle bearings have been
changed.? Dalton never used flip top cap oil cups but rather a different
brand that had a cap that lifted off the oil tube and was secured with a wire
bail that hung down into the oil tub.? These were prone to losing their
cap so many were changed to what you have on your lathe.? Fact I have also
done the same thing.? I agree this lathe? has seen little use.?
Dennis
?
?
Aha!
That works.? It does also serve as a carriage lock when the gear train is
in neutral.? ?I don't think this machine has seen much use.? I
bought it some years ago from a fellow who now occupied what was his great
uncle's house. The great uncle was a machinist and his Gerstner chest and other
items came with the lathe, which was clamped to a crude bench. Obviously it was
his home shop and nothing in the collection suggested any use after about 1950.
?
John the
knob between the hand wheel on the left and the half nut lever on the right is
your power feed control.? You tighten the knob and it will engage the cone
clutch on the worm gear drive on the back side of the apron. Here is a picture
of the back side of your apron John.? This shows the worm that is driven
by the keyway in the lead screw that drives the worm gear that the cone clutch
is in.? You can’t see it but behind the large worm gear is another gear
that engages the saddle longitudinal feed. Dennis
?
?
By-the-way,
given that the lead screw has a keyway, I assume that it has power longitudinal
feed driven by the keyway rather than the half nut.? How is that engaged
as all the apron has is the half nut lever and a carriage lock knob.?
?
Good
Morning John

OK
you have a Lot 5 machine.? As to thread dials all I have left is gears and
drawings.? Nice looking old girl John.

Hello
Group,
It

in the past, but I cannot retrieve that correspondence.? Please I identify
the lot number for me.? There are no numbers on the end of the bed.?
Also, are there any thread dials or at least gears remaining to make one. It is
a 12 tpi lead screw.
