Old lathe


 

I was very surprised to see a group of Dalton owners. Why do I like
this lathe so much? I thought I spent too much effort on mine but the
ones in the photos are amazing. I have a few small spare parts for
anyone, mostly bolts and a few other things. I'm looking forward to
discussing my experiences and yours. Malcolm Bryant.


 

Welcome to the site. I too was caught off gaurd with the extent that
these machines are restored. As a result my lot 4 is almost finished
looking just like theirs. Again welcome to the group. MIKE


 

I look at all these restored Daltons with the nice paint jobs and I feel guilty. Its something I've been meaning to do, but I have my lathe in production and it all covered in oil and turnings. Likewise the paint I have for my South Bend has been sitting on the shelf for about 5 years.

Maybe when I retire in 11 years or so, I will find the time.
