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!

Why are dozens of polytechforum users suddenly buying old Dalton
lathes -after- reading how much trouble fellow forum users are having
getting parts and manuals for them?

Curious. shrug
