As I mentioned I do have a dehumidifier running at the hangar, but our humidity is normally near 100% much of the time and worse, the doors blow fresh vapor in all day every day. The heat from a 40W

At my shop at Florence Oregon much like Glens in Tillamook Oregon humidity is high most of the time. Even at my home in the Willamette Valley Oregon again humidity is high. At my coast shop I have

"that Brown lathe" This got me remembering something which people were talking about in the shaper group, that is, how do you keep rust away in an unheated building. I store 2 shapers and 4 lathes in

Gleeeeeeen you were suppose to give that Brown lathe to me to restore. BuggerJ To bad we can’t find a really good Dandy lathe to go with your Brown. Dennis the trouble maker. Sent:

I think I have the 14 set, plus one of the old Haas stepper driven rotary tables, accuracy to 1/360th degree. To me it's better to either replace the gear with a ductile iron blank shrunk and screwed

Pull the shims out of the left hand bearing cap and see what you come up with. You may find its fine. I do have a long number 3 MT test bar if you need it. You put this in the taper of the spindle

I'm a long time from needing to do this, but I'd like to start accumulating any parts/tools I would need. My tailstock-side (right) spindle bearings are pretty tight - no detectable movement just

Sorry Ryan we never did a drawing for the bearings or do we have anything from Dalton. I did make a set of bronze bearings for one head stock but just copied the original other than the bore. As

Also I forgot to ask,? Dennis do you have a cad/ drawing of the babbitt bearings casting; or a cad/ drawing of the the bearings?

Yes it is pinned, it has a few missing teeth that need to be fix. My plan is to pin and then build up with Silver solder or brazing I don't know what is better as their are mixed opinions on both. Any

Still looking for that backing plate Dennis, Will pay all shipping and handling Thanks Greg wrote:

Chris the original 3C adapter when seated in the spindle taper was flush to the end of the spindle. Most 3 MT adapters today that will fit your lathe have a shoulder that sits outside of the spindle.

Apparently, drawbar collet chucks for the Dalton lathes are extremely rare. I do happen to have one, but I'll be using it when I can get my Dalton up and running. Rick Turner Sent: Friday, January

Thanks for all the advice. Talked to Mom and she's not in a huge hurry.? Mostly what spurred this on is it's winter and she's in the snow belt.? She wants to get out of the too big, now empty house

I looking at setting up my Chinese mini lathe up for collets after I get the new spindle bearings in and I figure I should try to find a setup that will also work with the Dalton if possible. Went

No Chris the spindle nose on the Lot 2 3 4 and 5 are all the same. I may have just given a bit of extra clearance on for the registration shoulder behind the thread. When the spindles are brand new

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

From my experience, an auction can be a very good option. Twenty years ago I sold virtually all of my tools because I needed to simplify my life. Not only did the auction group do all the heavy

Dennis: The check is in the mail. Thanks, Joe

Looking good. What's up with that one tooth on the gear in the foreground?? Was it pinned to replace a broken tooth?
