Hi, is this group still active? I have recently been given a Dalton Lathe and would like to learn more about them.
Hope to hear from someone,

The South Bend Lathe book "How to Run a Lathe" Is a good operator's manual for older (and modern hobby) machines.

The photos of the 'Dalton Lot 6 - as new' show many details that are very similar to my 1965 South Bend, such as the ball-closed oilers and the forward/reverse threading mechanism (tumbler) which SB calls a recent improvement in 1914. I even have a diamond-knurled Jacobs chuck.
The spout on an Eagle model 66 brass oil can matches those oil fittings, and opens the spring cap on Gits oil cups. Since I have one (bought new) I haven't looked for current production oilers that also fit.
