Anyone know where I can find a lathe face plate that fits the nose of a
B-4. I think the thread is 1 1/4 x 12 TPI.

Hi Ron

Your mini lathe face plate came in on Friday. Looks really good and
should make a very nice Dalton face plate. I will get a spindle
adapter made up this next week and sent off to you. I will need
your mailing address so contact me off site.

Again thanks for setting up the sight for all of us old farts that
can barley use a computer let alone do anything constructive with
one."-)))

Has anyone heard from old fuzzy face Andy Sargent. Seams the moving
has gotten him down and I am afraid he is trapped under a pile of
packing boxes that crashed down on him somewhere in the basement.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAndy are you still with us."-))))

Well Monday I go up to Forward Air and pick up the crate that I
shipped John Glands lathe to him in. Seams its coming back with
another Dalton in it. After I get it Dave Kirk and I will put up a
list of spare parts that we have.

Hi Ron

The best your going to come up with is finding a suitable face plate
with a 1 inch thread and send it to me as I can open it up to the 1
1/4 - 12 thread. The miner diameter of a 1 1/4 - 12 is 1.156 so you
can open up a 1 inch 10 thread just fine either by single pointing
the thread or I do have a tap for cutting this thread. I do not
like to use the tap on a chuck back plate as it makes the thread a
little loser than I like for a chuck but it has worked well for a
face plate.

There were no other lathes I have ever found that used this thread
on the spindle nose.

I just got a nice 6 3/4 face plate with a 1 - 12 thread and it looks
just like a Dalton one I have but I have no idea of what it went
to. Just keep looking and you will come up with something.

Hello... <tap> <tap> <Squeeeeek!> Is this thing on?

I'm here! HELP! I've been taken hostage by 2 old houses that I'm
desperately trying to remodel and sell.

The good news is that SWMBO and I just brought the last truck load of
tools home after spending the last 6 weeks remodelling the old houses.
We're all finished except for the part that requires waiting for a
buyer to snatch them up.

Better news is that I'll have my life back! Maybe I'll even get the
shop unpacked and a machine or 2 working soon. I'll even get the boxes
of flat belting unpacked and get belts made for those of you who've
been patiently waiting (you know who you are).

Thanks, guys, for being patient with me and my temporary loss of
anything that resembles free time.
