I have a Dalton Six B4, I am looking for documentation, Manual and a picture(s) of a complete original lathe.
I am trying to figure out if it is worth it to restore to an original condition or modify it to a modern power plant condition, using a dirrect dc drive w/ a riding lawn mower transmission. I have other working lathes. Any ignorance anyone wishes to cure please act. |

Thanks Which "this" group, r.c.m. or the Yahoo one? Several of us in r.c.m. pointed to the Yahoo group and lathes.co.uk. My Usenet server has been responding slowly and erratically. -jsw |

To all Dalton owners and people interested in Dalton equipment. My name is Dennis Turk and I own seven Dalton lathes, one lot 3 and six lot 4 machines. The range of age is before 1914 and to after 1925. I do not use the lathes as they are for restoration and display. There is a group of Dalton owners that share pictures information and in some cases replacement parts. There is I believe 13 people in this group. We are known as just the Dalton Gang.:-) Two of the people live in England, as it seems Daltons ended up over there also. There are no multi function machines in the group. The group is comprised of one lot 2 lathe two lot 3 lathes sixteen lot 4 lathes and one lot 6. The lot number is just in front of your serial number and denotes the model. B-4 or B-6. Not all lathes especially the early ones have model tags on them only a lot #. We keep a record of all Lot and Serial numbers and this way we can gestimate the approximate age or year of build for the lathes. In this group there is also one very original peddle or foot powered lathe that has the hand lever on the tailstock. Really interesting machine. Devil to run though. I would be interested in communicating with anyone that owns a Dalton lathe for the purpose of tracking serial numbers and helping others with problems with their lathes. There are a very small number of replacement parts available. These are used but serviceable. In some of the postings there was a question as to the age of Dalton tool works. We know that Herbert Dalton started the company some time before 1912 and it failed in the stock market crash of 1929. In 1930 Elecrolux purchased the property and built vacuum cleaners there Thanks and I hope to hear form all Dalton owners. Hello, I have a dalton Lot 4 Type"B" #4336 Lathe and I am trying to get some information on it. please respond. Missing auto feed gear i believe. |

Hi all. Mark here in the UK. I recently bought a Dalton Lot 4 # 747 (cool #!). Does anyone know where to get further information on the lathe. I'd love to be able to use it to make the missing items from the changeover gear set. It's my first lathe. Am I aiming too high? Kind regards...

There used to be a yahoo? group for Dalton lathes - https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/...ons/topics/866 And there was a discussion regarding "change Gears". -- cheers, John B. |
