Dalton lathe


 

Picked this up when I was in upstate NY.


 

Rick this is the?first one with the most complete overhead double silent chain drive we have seen.? ?Usually one or two?of the guards are missing. Lot 6 or Dalton 9 I can't tell from the photo.? Dennis

It measures as a lot 6 but doesn't say it on the bed.


 


 

Dennis there's a lot 5 serial # 55 for sale one of the first 100.


 


 

Boy now there is a rare one.? I have a really bad one and I know of two others so that makes four.? I have always felt that this model turned out to be too expensive?to build given the market they were targeting.? This looks to be the only complete one we have seen as the other three are far from complete machines. Thanks for sharing Rick.?

Here's what I believe is a lot 2 for sale. I asked them for the serial number they couldn't find it


 


 

Maybe a lot 3? No serial # or lot # on the bed.


 

Yes the compound looks to be the lot two series.? Lot 3 used the same bed and other parts from the Lot two but had? different? cross slide and compound slice more like a Lot 4. Blew?the picture op a bit.?

Also look at how thin the bottom?casting for the tail stock?is.? This confirmed?its a Lot 2 as the swing on a Lot 2 is 6 inches a Lot 3 7 1/4.
