Re: spindle nose thread protectors
Dennis ---This is Terry from St.Petersburg Florida hope all is well at your end . Not sure if this will get to you or not but was wondering do you have any Spindle Nose Protectors left ? If you do sure would like to get one from you.

No Chris the spindle nose on the Lot 2 3 4 and 5 are all the

Received one of Dennis' spindle nose protectors.? It's
currently the nicest part of my Dalton.?
Thanks for making them available, Dennis.
I noticed the ID has stepped threads with the smaller set fitting my
spindle.? Is this so it fits the Lots 3-5 with the smaller threads and the
lot 6 with the larger or is there another reason ?
Anyhow, some before and after pics...

Re: New Dalton Lot 5 Owner
It is an optical illusion, the "paddle" is just the main part of the lever. ?The curved piece that you see is separate from the lever and it does the locking by pivoting parallel with the bed. ?There is a pin on the far end of the curved piece. ?I'll try to add a close up picture later this week.

Re: New Dalton Lot 5 Owner
Jeff, is the paddle some kind of lock to make the shift handle stay put?
The paddle lever just above the feed/thread reverse level is part of the lever, it isn't a separate piece. ? It does look like the feed/thread reverse lever has been braised.? At first I thought it was just bronze but upon closer inspection it might well be braised as well.?

Re: New Dalton Lot 5 Owner
Funny looking feed/thread reversal lever, been brased maybe, nice job though, but what about the paddle lever just above it? (last Photo) How's that work?

Dan I bought a Dalton Lot 5 last weekend.? I'll post better pictures sometime in the next couple of weeks. It was part of a bigger buy and I need to get everything put away before I can get proper pictures.

Re: Lot 5 screw questions
Thank you for the information, i started with snugging up the play in the bushings use spring washers but that only got me so far; there is still about a quarter turn of play in the handles. Also what is the thread on the half nut.
Thanks,
Ryan Waldt?

Re: Lot 5 screw questions
All three lead screws are 7/16-10 acme. Cross slide and tail stock are left hand thread, compound is right hand thread. ?You also need to address any end play in the lead screw mounting bushings. The cross slide is prone to a lot of end play on Dalton lathes. ?There is no source for these lead screws they have to be made. Same for the ?nuts. Dennis

I have a lot 5 and i have a lot of backlash in all of the screws, i would like to make and/buy new threaded blocks for it; what are the lead screw dimensions for the cross slide, the compound, and the apron? Also which screw is left and right hand threaded?
Any help would be greatly appreciated?

Re: Lot 5 screw questions
i’ve a restored lot 2 for sale in operational condition, might be cheaper to buy whole lathe vs getting something machined.?

Re: Somebody who knows how to use gears on Dalton 6 B-4, please help.
There is a spacer on the end of the threading lead screw. This allows you to shift the gear on the lead screw one gear thickness. You move the spacer to the other side of the gear on the lead screw when compounding gears on the gear bracket are required when cutting some of the very fine threads. ??

?Hi guys! I've got the gear locations for screw-cutting figured out (stud is topmost, just in front of the two little gears, the comp is next lowest, and the screw is bottom-right, attached to the carriage lead screw.), but there's still one thing that has me stumped: What do you do if the thread you're cutting doesn't call for comp gears (which most threads don't)?? How do you get the stud gears to mesh with the screw gear?? As far as I can tell, they're completely out of react from one another.? Surely Dalton would have listed a pair of gears to put in the comp position if doing so was necessary, but I can't see how this is done with this spot empty. Am I missing something? Thanks!

It’s a long time since I cut a thread with change wheels - do the attached photos from a 1972 school textbook help?

I think you just move one or the other gear in or out using a smaller gear or a spacer so the line up. It's been at least 43 years since I used a lathe without a feedbox.
