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

The new owners are buying the lathes from the previous owners who
couldnt find parts for them. (Grin)
