Lot 5 S/N 405 found and logged.

oddball_racing All Messages By This Member #281 I've located the serial number on my Dalton Six. Although edstoller tried to help, I couldn't see what I think he sent as a photo. However, the curiousity got the best of me and I broke down the lathe to thoughly clean it up, all the while looking for the s/n. FYI it was stamed into the end surface of the far side bed rail. Thanks for the help, Mike

Dennis Turk #287 开云体育 Hi Mile ? OK on the back of your apron there is a hollow worm gear that the lead screw passes through.? In this worm gear is a key that the lead screw drives.? The worm gear drives a gear that has a clutch in it that is activated by the knob on the front of your apron.? On the back side of this driven worm gear is a spur gear that is engaged into the gear that drives the hand wheel pinion gear that? engages the rack gear under the bed.? When you turn the knob on the front to the right it will tighten the clutch and the lead screw will drive this gear train giving you a very fine slow feed rate to you saddle.? With the half nuts the feed rate is very fast and will not give a good clean cut.? It also saves your half nuts and lead screw threads just for threading so they do not ware out near as fast.? Here is a pictures of kind of what the back side of you apron looks like.? This is in fact the back side of a TL Dalton but yours is very similar. ? AS you can see by the pictures there is no half nuts because the TL Dalton was a none thread cutting lathe.? The lead screw per say did not have any threads on it only a smooth shaft with a keyway.? The TL was a very inexpencive lathe used for wood work and some limited metal work. ?
