Re: Dalton type B-6 for sale
Sorry, Terry, it sold last weekend. Young guy, in Tillamook, Oregon. He is probably going to but the smaller Lot 6 also, in a couple of weeks. The smaller one is also a Lot 6, but the spindle thru hole is smaller than that B version. His name is Chuck and I will give you his phone number via pm if you'd like to call him.

Re: Dalton type B-6 for sale
Dan do you still have the Dalton Lathe ?? If you do could I ask a favor as in some pictures of the steady rest I see on the lathe. I have a B4/30" Dalton and have been looking for Steady Rest but not to sure what I am looking for if that makes sence. Dennis said he has never found anything that will fit except the one made for the Dalton. It would be nice to see what I am looking for. Thank you for your time. Terry St.Pete Florida

My brother bought this years ago from Dennis Turk, and it has one of Dennis' reproduction thread dials on it. Cabinet with drawers not included. I think Glen was going to finish it up and use it, but now I just want to sell it to help my sister-in-law out. Asking $500 for everything shown except the cabinet. I wanted members here to have 1st shot on it before listing it on Craigslist or eBay. I'd prefer not to ship, since I've seen so many disasters caused by careless shippers of lathes, shapers, etc. Not to mention prohibitive shipping rates. Dennis can chime in with any additional information on this.? It is currently? in Tillamook, Oregon, but I may bring it over to my shop in Salem within a week or two.
Thanks,???

Terry, I don't see a problem with what you?want to do.? It would be even better if your lathe had a 36 inch bed but guessing yours is a 30 inch.? Holding the cam at one in with the chuck and supporting the cam with a steady rest at one of the bearing journals should work just?fine.

Hello Dennis , Hope you see this. I sent you a email ( Your new email address) about the thread protector awhile back guess you did not get it.

I was thinking about polishing a small Diesel Cam to check the lobs ( in Granny Gear ) but since the B-4 is so short thought would take the tail stock off and install one---- again only turning in Granny Gear to polish.

Hi all.? ?Well looks like Dan got things fixt as I just logged in and this is the first post I have made in a long time.??
