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. |

Hi, I have a Dalton Lathe and would be interested if you have any photos of a
lot 4 lathe. I am renovating the lathe and would appreciate finding out if any parts are missing, and the arrangement options of the cogs etc. Quote:

I recently obtained a Dalton lathe. It is in realitive excelent condition. I am trying to identify it as to the age and model. It apears to be a 3 1/2" by about 11"to 12" center to center bed. It looks very much like the 1918 B2 from California that I have seen on the web. On the gear change cover it list the type as Type "B" and made in New York. There is no identifing name on the side of the Bed, The both feet have Dalton made in New York cast into them also in the carage front. there is a small name plate on the front side of the gear cover about 2" by 2" with what apears to be paten information on it it is very hard to read cant tell if it has a serial no. As I said before the machine is in excelent condition and apears to be all original. I know where it has bee for the past 20 or so years. It was used by a friend of mine for a few years prior to that. Phil, Vicksburg MS.

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. |

You are apparently reading this in googlegroups, but is is really a reflection of the usenet newsgroup rec.crafts.metalworking, and certainly the main users in usenet have no way of knowing about "new members". I don't know whether the googlegroups members have such a way, and whether it works only on the groups which are not mirrors of usenet newsgroups. I have a dalton lot 5 and am looking for some tooling. I can be of no help there.

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...

I just picked a B4 #2383 that is very dirty but looks functional with exception to motor and associated drive bits. I'm looking for guidance in that area. |

I have had a lathe I found in a scrap yard in Seymour Texas for about 12 years.
It has a broken base and was in need of tepair. I disassembled it and took inventory of what it needed. Cleaned all the parts and put it in the attic. I just pulled it down to go over again and was trying to find another base. It appears to be one of the most rare models of the Dalton line. It is a Lot-2-No 19. I was planning on using it to neck turn rifle brass. I am using my Summit lathe for this and was hoping to find a more size appropriate lathe for it. It's a neat looking little unit. Just seems to be very very rare and it looks like I should approach with caution. |

Hello. I just found your post. As of tomorrow I will be taking possession of a Dalton T-L with a 1924 date and a whole bunch of extras including live and dead centers, 3 and 4 jaw chuck, some change gears and in need of re-assembly (its in pieces), a new drive belt, and about a month or two of elbow grease to remove rust and re-paint. I am a Machinist virgin having only played so far with a Grizzly micro-lathe which has gotten me hooked (I have found so far anyone who owns a lathe seems to have 2 or 3 or 4 or... I know... its a disease) I ordered what literature was available from that UK fellow so we will see if sales brochures are enough info to rebuild this beast. I may be back to ask some (I am sure really really dumb) questions.

Hi, I just received a Dalton Six lathe. The Patent tag ends in 1922 and the tags all have New York so I think it was built between 1922-1925. ?? It looks like an 8" x 16" so it's not very long. There are no model numbers or other ID tags. Can you tell me what it is? https://www.polytechforum.com/img/5b -- for full context, visit http://www.polytechforum.com/metalwo...es-308297-.htm |

Hello,
My name is Matt and I live in Illinois. I have recently come across an opportunity to obtain a €śDalton Six€ť B-4 Lathe. It is in working condition and seems like a pretty sturdy lil Lathe and perfect for my little garage. The guy wants $215.00 for it. Is that a fair price considering it is so hard to get replacement parts? |

Price doesn't sound too bad even for a fairly stripped machine, so long
as it's in good condition. Check ways front ways near headstock for wear. At minimum, you'll want a 3 jaw, 4 jaw, faceplate, drill chuck, lantern tool post, and a live center to do much. With that, you could make a lot of accessories. If you plan to do any threading, you'll want a set of change gears. If not, you could get by with putting a variable speed DC motor on the far end of the lead screw. I modified a friend's Craftsman thus. If it's missing most of the above, be aware that without some serious bargain hunting, they'll likely cost at least double the price of the lathe.
