Terry, I don't see a problem with what you?want to do.? It would be even better if your lathe had a 36 inch bed but guessing yours is a 30 inch.? Holding the cam at one in with the chuck and supporting the cam with a steady rest at one of the bearing journals should work just?fine.
Dennis would a steady rest work what I have in mind removing the tailstock or could I do damage to the B-4 lathe ? The total overall length of the Cam is 18" end to end.
Hi Terry As to your question about follower and steady rest, yes Dalton provided steady rest for? all models of lathes they produced.? I have one for each model I have.? Lest I think so.? You guys have no idea of how much Dalton South Bend and Atlas stuff I actually?have. Also have your name and address on my list of thread protectors to ship off.

Hello Dennis , Hope you see this. I sent you a email ( Your new email address) about the thread protector awhile back guess you did not get it. Do have a question though did Dalton make a Follower Steady Rest ( Think that is what it is called ) for the B-4 Lathe ? If not what might fit .or make fit ?? I was thinking about polishing a small Diesel Cam to check the lobs ( in Granny Gear ) but since the B-4 is so short thought would take the tail stock off and install one---- again only turning in Granny Gear to polish. Good idea or a bad one ?? Terry St.Pete Fl.
Hi all.? ?Well looks like Dan got things fixt as I just logged in and this is the first post I have made in a long time.??
As to spindle nose thread protectors I have a bunch of them and for $15 and shipping I will send one to you.? These are for the 1 1/4 - 12 spindle nose on the Lot 2 3 4 and 5 and also on the TL lathe with the same spindle nose.

I found this lathe in Grass Valley, California for $300. Posted a photo album "daron dalton 9x4" No gears but includes lot of tooling.

It was very rusty when I got it but cleaning up to working state. Crossfeed lead nut worn and has some slop.
Trying to understand how to operate the powered cross-feed independently of the main feed. I suspect the "clutch" is stuck so may have to take the apron off and tinker a bit there.

One other thing was that this lathe came equipped with the hand wheel collet closer and one 1/2 9/16 and 5/8 3C collet.? These would have been standard shaft sizes seen on the motors that were repaired using this lathe.
