If the man wants a press, he should get that press.
I've seen presses with a removable quick disconnect hydraulic pump that
can be handy for many other things. These pumps come in manual lever type
and electric and are nice to have.
If you go to equipment auctions you can get a your moneys worth real
quick.
The press accessories are very important and are in most cases as
expensive as the press but are a 'Throw in" when you buy at equipment
sales.
My brother sold a combination vertical mill, automatic feed with the
collets, blocks, chucks, clamps, mills, tapered bits and his accessories
were worth more than the press.
Go for it.
