Oops, I was looking at the cross feed. OK, I just looked at both cross feed screws and both are again 7/16-10 LH acme. I have one here if you want it, both the screw and the nut. wrote:

Is your lathe a lot 4 or a lot 6? My lot 4 and lot 6 both have 7/16-10 LH screws. I didn't look to see if they were square or acme but I assume they are acme. Here is one on ebay,

Another update from me and my Dalton 9 x 4 serial 90.05.? I'm looking for the nut for my compound slide or to find out what the thread count and size on that nut so that I can replace it. it's got

I'm looking to sell my Dalton. Just don't have time for this project. I figure maybe someone here might like it. Pretty much what you see is what you get. Local pickup or I can ship..you pay for

Thanks. L

Larry order a set of thrust washers and a needle bearing from MSC or Mc Master Carr to go in place of the red thrust washer under your adjusting nut. Total thickness of the two thrust washers and

Easiest is to buy one of the online bearing stores... in a Pinch, I made one from 1 inch bronze rod one time. Drill it to the correct diameter and part off to whatever thickness you might need.

I await my belts for the old/new lot 4 #2050.This week end! I noticed the spindle thrust washers are spinning with the spindle.? There is no adjustment left.? I will make a new nut. The washers

I agree with you on this, Dennis. Glen has at least 5 CNCs in his shop, plus at least 3 conventional lathes, one of which is a monster, and has been running his own machine shop for what, 40 years or

What planet did you guys come from. For one I use only high positive inserts on my lot 6 Dalton.? Second the mith about carbide on older machines is just bull shit.? Modern high positive insert

Please roll with your own interpretations Herb, I agree that high HP and speeds are needed for production high volume machining, but often carbides and ceramics are the only way to cut some

To successfully employ carbide, you need 2 things--Horsepower, and rigidity. Daltons are a fine little lathe, but they were designed in an era (after the first world war) when high speed steel was

I don't mean to be contrary or make anyone angry but a good machinist knows when to use either HSS or carbide.

If you only have one lathe, set the lowest speed so that a piece about 6" in diameter will run at about 40 surface feet a minute. This is the maximum speed for cast iron. let the maximum speed for

My rig gives me 287 rpm.? I'll have to find a smaller drive pulley.? I'm running an atlas jack shaft.? Haven't figured out how to mount the dalton shaft yet.Thanks for the info.L

Thank you.? Now to find some plastigage.L

I replaced my motor with a new 3/4 hp 110v motor from Grizzly. Seems to run fine. 220 would be better from a harmonics point of view - but 110 is more versatile from a small hobby shop point of

Hi Larry Using the Dalton supplied countershaft three step pulley Dalton ran there countershaft at 250 rpm. This I believe gave a top spindle speed of 480 Rpm. You would be safe at running your
