My Dalton Lathe
Hi, Im trying to I.D. an old Dalton I just got. ( Oregon, March 2017)
It has Dalton Six cast on it and the end plate says New York. The Patent plate indicates Patents from 1914 to 1922. Therefore I guess it was built in 1922 or after, and until 1925 when Dalton moved from New York. Its not large. Im not a machinist and do not know how to run a lathe ( but will learn). However, it has about an 8 swing and spindle to chuck face is about 16 max. Where are there other markings or casting numbers that might tell me what it is? Ive attached a picture. Thanks. It is very COOL! https://www.polytechforum.com/img/5a -- for full context, visit http://www.polytechforum.com/metalwo...he-635131-.htm |
