Comment on Delta 1460 12″ Lathe by Harvey Russell

I have a Rockwell Delta 1460, 1967 model. I have both wood and metal working tool holders. I have partially restored the lathe but physically am not able to complete the job. There are many tools that go with the deal. I hope to get somewhere around $1000 for everything. I have photos. Email me at: sharkfiter@comcast,net and I will send the photos. Location is south Florida.

Ray,

You can find the MT1 tapers at many tool stores, particularly Sears. If your local store doesn’t carry them then check out their website - they are available there - albeit a little pricey.

Nice job…lots of hard work. I found a 103.23070 at a yardsale…giant pile of rust…and am currently restoring it. I didn’t do quite the job that you did, but I did completely dismantle it a wire wheeled everything, repainted, etc. It looks good. I’m missing the cover and the #1 morse tapers on the head and tail stocks…nobody seems to make them anymore. The guy was using it for metalwork and had a 4 jaw chuck..I can use that but want the original stuff. Any hints on finding parts?

I have most of the tools for the dyno-mite series along with some ads from the era they were sold. I was born in Greenfield, Mass and visited Millers Falls tools when they had a store at the factory when I was a child. I acquired them on ebay at a fantastic bargain price and they are in excellent condition. I also have many of the MF hand drills & planes. I plan on keeping my collection for sentimental reasons. Also enjoy working in wood but more with my Shopsmith setup I have. I want to keep the made in America tools while they are still around.

Dennis, give Delta a call and they can give you the model number and date of your machine.
