Kinda of difficult to convince sweetie she needs one if my only argument is the Jones's like them.

I don't know how you stay alive with that business model. It sure as heck wouldn't work around here. I don't try to convince her that she needs anything. My only challenge is figuring out how to avoid her finding out what I bought. I am constantly mixing farming with personal, selling to buy, squirrelling away cash, taking too long to go to pick up some tractor repair parts in Toronto while detouring to Sarnia to buy a Shaper and the list goes on. My only real fear is that she will sell everything for what I told her I paid. And that's just toys. I can't begin to imagine how the conversation will go with a buyer when she tries to sell my farm tractor repair mill on Kijiji. This mill is for tractor repair, the lathe is for seed drilling, this grinder is for grinding course wheat to sell to Argentina, etc etc.

Ya, you need a new shop purchasing business plan or you are gunna get killed.
 
Yes, when you hear yourself talking about convincing, you have already lost. Just concentrate the on the begging forgiveness part.

They'll chew iron like you wouldn't believe. bunch of lengths from a 10" x 3/4" flatbar? chomp chomp chomp, done, So much fun I could go broke just feeding it pieces. Holes punched via the punch on front (left side of photo), angle iron in the middle and notching at the rear. So much faster to punch holes than drill.

We have a Peddinghaus at the plant, quality German made machine

That’s easy in your will tell her to add “ Add 75% to what I told you “
 
Iron workers sure make fab lightning quick. If I was starting a commercial fab/welding venture, ide sell my lathe to buy one.

But I’m not starting one and they are huge, heavy, and loud. But crazy good at what they do.

OK, could you elaborate ? I am totally ignorant of these beasts that a lot of you seem to druel over.

They usually combine a variety of shearing tasks (flat bar, square/round, and angle iron) with hole punching, all using one hydraulic cylinder, in a relatively small footprint. I picked a lighter duty one up at work, (for $600!), and it'll shear 1" square cold rolled steel bar. Not necessarily great for finer stuff? I don't have a ton of experience with them, though.

Oh it's easy, I won't say I have her trained, that would be deadly, but I do.
I Google something and that gets her interweb deally thing flooded with advertising. She'll say something like "honey lovebug, are you looking for a lathe ?" to which I'll say "why yes dear, indeed I am ". She then goes on a mission, finds one, passes her phone to me and asks "like this ?". Works great.
You do have to realize that I am a very charming and adorable individual.
