Dalton lott4 ,working not original motor comes with top only tobe colected in uk at b79 ?200 also a lot of cutting tools comes with lathe gordon

Hi guys! I've got the gear locations for screw-cutting figured out (stud is topmost, just in front of the two little gears, the comp is next lowest, and the screw is bottom-right, attached to the carriage lead screw.), but there's still one thing that has me stumped: What do you do if the thread you're cutting doesn't call for comp gears (which most threads don't)? How do you get the stud gears to mesh with the screw gear? As far as I can tell, they're completely out of react from one another. Surely Dalton would have listed a pair of gears to put in the comp position if doing so was necessary, but I can't see how this is done with this spot empty. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Can anyone tell how to remove the gear on the head stock. Or should I say disassemble it? Any information would be appreciated Regards Jean

Visited my Mom this past weekend to help go through my late father's tools. Spent half a day sorting through machine tools for her. Got some a few nice things for myself to round out my boxes, plus loads of inch-sized taps, dies, etc. Anyhow, I've been going through the small bits and adding them to my existing stock. Came across a few things and I either don't know what they are, or I'm not sure what their purpose is (ruler is for scale). Any advice appreciated. Have a couple of reamers with dedicated handles. Were reamers commonly used by hand? Doesn't seem a very accurate way to use them. These reamers and counterbore or deburring tools have a square tapered shank. What sort of tool would these go in? Reminds me of something that would go in an auger. Doesn't appear the shank is standardized. Have a fair amount of gently tapered reamers with square shanks. Just like the standard reamers I'm familiar with, but with a taper. Most are so slightly tapered it's difficult to see without paying attention. I'm familiar with more steeply tapered holes like for ball joints, but these are generally less than 1/2" and more often closer to 1/4" with a gentle taper that doesn't seem like it would be useful for something like a friction fit. Is this maybe to make things like locating dowels easier to assemble? If not, what's the common use (besides the obvious of making gently tapered holes)?

after months of carefully chipping concrete and paint off the brass plate i’ve finally revealed the data. i’ve also made wax copies of the change gear banjo as mine is split. it’s shown superglued (so i could mould it) obviously an aluminium cast isn’t going to be as good but it’s the best i can achieve with the tools available. I’m surprised to find metric threading data! it’s the very plate that was on my lathes side door. i can’t imagine it’s original? Dennis mentioned a few years ago my Lot 4 has a 24 lead maybe someone can look at brass plate or the text i’ve copied from it and let me know if it’s correct for my lathe.

there was a Dalton Adding Machine Company at about the same time? https://americanhistory.si.edu/collections/search/object/nmah_690126

Hi all, I just purchased my first lathe, a Lot 3 No. 707. I’m told the previous owner had it for at least forty years and it has been kept in excellent condition with one pretty big exception. Part of the cross slide/compound assembly cracked and was repaired in a pretty rough way (pics below). The Dalton write up on lathes.co.ok says that only a handful of lot 3’s are known. Is that still true, does that mean I have no chance of finding a replacement? Is the lot 4 part the same? Advice welcome. Aside from that it’s a beauty, but I haven’t seen any pictures of a Dalton that looks quite like mine. There are others with the motor and counter shaft mounted overhead, but none that I’ve seen with the supports in front. mid like to learn whatever I can about how to evaluate its health and keep it in good condition. Many thanks Jason

Another update from me and my Dalton 9 x 4 serial 90.05. I'm looking for the nut for my compound slide or to find out what the thread count and size on that nut so that I can replace it. it's got some slop in it possibly the screw too although it does look pretty decent and since the nut is brass and I'm assuming since it's the softer metal that is going to wear first. Any insight would be much appriciated

I’ve previously shown photo(s) of my Lathe, just a general front view but I'm now loading 4 more detailed photos of my Lathe, one identifies my lathe as a Lot 2, Serial No 23 as shown on the end of Lathe Bed. The other photos are of the Lathe End Gears, the Back Gears and a general Rear view of the Lathe from the end of the Lathe Bed. Anyway as far as I can tell after slowly turning all the Gears by hand it appears that they are all in tact, with no chipped or broken teeth. As you can see the Lathe could do with cleaning up and painting to look in far more presentable state, what would you recommend for this (a cleaning aid to bring it back to look like new condition if possible).

There is a lot 4 located in New York up for sale on eBay. I already have a Lot 4 and would LOVE that custom draw bar but… sigh… Anyone looking for a nice lathe who has loot see: https://www.ebay.com/itm/133748956684

Hello, I've posted pictures on here a couple years ago trying to identify my lathe but didn't succeed. there are no stamped marking on it on the end of the bed as usual. I found one piece behind the apron that says dalton and a couple other pieces with random letters and numbers. I have begun restoring the lathe so I'm once again looking to identify it, it looks comparable to the Dalton lathes that are said to be produced at the end of the companies life and have no stamps on them. looks like there was a round tag on it at one time and was painted grey or white at one time. pictures attached

Hi there, my name is Andrea, I'm writing from Italy and I'm very pleased to have found such a huge place of information. After a long time waiting for a good deal with a small lathe I eventually found an old Dalton (don't know yet if it's been really a good deal :-) ). The label on the train gears cover states "seven inches lathe" , no reference to the lot number at the right end of the rails where I can only see one number : 5066. I really can't understand what model is it. It seems to me a kind of Frankenstein, maybe you will recognize it from the pictures (don't mind the "stand" :-) ). On the apron there is the clutch knob but the lead screw doesn't have any key slot (also there is no worm gear) so it is useless... As you will see in the pictures, the lathe has been brutally abused during the years, it is missing several pieces...screws, gears, mandrel...part of the tail stock. Anyway I will try to restore it in order to bring it back to life even if this will be a very long process as I can work on it only in my spare time during the weekend and I have only this lathe to turn/create new pieces. I don't know why the previous owner disassembled the lathe, maybe he wanted to start a restoration but he must have abandoned the idea after a while. In the meantime he lost some pieces :-( Hope someone is able to tell what I bought. Thanks! Ciao Andrea

Hello, My name is Alan I inherited a Dalton B 6 lathe and am going to go through the restoration process, I am a mechanic by trade and am not a machinist. I received this from an uncle who purchased it from the U.S. Navy. He was a machinist mate and learned his military trade on a Dalton lathe in the 1930's. My uncle used to make things on this lathe for my bicycles, go karts and motorcycles. I am hoping that there is some operator/repair manuals available so I can restore and use this lathe. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Alan

All, I have a dalton lather that was passed from grandfather ( a tool and die maker ) to father and now to me. Unfortunately I have a woodworking business and generally do not do metal working . So I will be selling the lathe in the near future, but am having trouble identifying the unit and assigning a value. I have attached a few pic hoping identification could be made. I am thinking its a Lot 5 from the little checking id did. I do not see any stamped number on the end of the bed ways and there is no other name plates other than the pat number plate. Any help would be appreciated. Also if there is a way to post messages to the group on the Groups. io page please let me know or is email the only form of group sharing? Thanks T

I have a dalton lathe that was grandfather's (tool and die maker) and fathers (machinist who made mini steam engines as hobby) and am trying to determine what type it is and approximate value. I will be selling it since do not use it and need the space in the wood shop. Would like it to go to a good home. Patent name plate i has two pat numbers last one is from 1914, there is no sn or other identifying number that I can see on way ends. and no other name plates other than Pat name plate on it. Its in great shape and runs great. I think it is a lot 5, from the searching I did but need some help. Lastly any input on what it would be worth? Located in upstate NY. Thanks for any feed back
