Justification? I want ... is a good justification. Maybe what you should really ask here is "what can I do with a bigger lathe?"
I started with a 10x22 Chinese made lathe (Grizzly), and have added three older lathes (Monarchs) 14x30, 12x20, and 26x48, that I'm fixing up to be workhorse. And a WWII era mill. These are my retirement toys. I'm having to build a new shop to put all the stuff in. It'll be my third. And I've gone the pilot/CFI/airplane route too, although sold the plane and have not been PIC in 15 years.
