Just FYI there is a Dalton Lathe on eBay # 140156589218. Looks well
tooled compared to most I've seen.

FWIW,

Hi All
?
Well now we have number six or seven lot six 8 1/2 inch swing Daltons now known of.? This size Dalton was built between 1915 and 1929.? In the small number we know of the serial numbers run from Rob Libby's 1915 #67 to my 1929 serial #7014.? Dalton used sequential serial numbers for each model or Lot number machine so six or?seven lathes out of over 7000 built makes these a very rare lathe. The spindle nose on these lathes are 1 7/8-8 just like SB used.? These lathes have spindles that are hardened and ground just like the later SB models.? They had very large bronze bushings on the spindle also.? These lathes do not have any power cross feed but the second feed rod that is driven by spur gears from the lead screw will give you very slow carriage feed thru its worm drive very much like a SB.? The collet closer that is shown in one picture is an original Dalton and it has the 3C adapter screwed into its end.? These lathes could use either 3C or 4C collets depending on which nose piece you installed into the spindle.? These were very well made lathes unlike there smaller brother the Lot 2 3 4 and 5 models which were aimed at the home shop market.? These were truly professional quality machines for the era.? This lathe though only a little over an 8 inch swing?weights well over 400 pounds.? There was one larger Dalton lathe built that? we think was the Lot 8 though no known example other than an end door exist today.? Yep I have the end door."-))))? The Lot 8 was a 9 1/2 inch swing lathe with a 4 foot bed and did share the same spindle nose and end gears of the Lot 6 but little ells.? The end gears on this Lot 6 are 16 pitch and are 9/16 wide and have a 3/4 hole so if this lathe does not have its end gears you could substatute SB 11 and 13 inch gears with a little work.
?
Just a little Dalton history for all you SB guys.? Owe by the way the salmon fishing tip this last week only netted me three nice 25 to 35# salmon.? Not all that good for seven days on the river.? I did manage to skunk my fishing partner though.? Poor Timmy Little fish? only had one dine and dash and no other bites.? Dine and dash for you none fisherman means you got your bate stripped.
