New Member Bryan Alton with a Dalton Lot 2 Lathe


 

Hello everybody, I've joined your group following acquiring a Dalton Lot 2 Lathe No. 23, I live in Derbyshire, United Kingdom. All I know about this Lathe it's what I've read on the "Lathes" website and the History given on your webpage, it's a nice little Lathe but does have two issues i'd like to remedy if I can.

1) I have play on the spindle drive (not sure if this is the right term) to the Cross Drive Feed, how can I take up the play in this, is there any adjustments or can I replace the Feed Nut.

2)There is no Micrometer Dial on my Lathe, I believe this is normal on Dalton Lot 2 Lathes, can you suggest a remedy for this so I can monitor the extent of my cuts to the Workpiece.

I have sent a previous message which may have been a bit forward so remains undisplayed, so perhaps you could delete that one.

Regards

Bryan Alton
