The machine is discontinued. "http://www.olivermachinery.net/index.php?node=machines&model=1013]Table Saw, Jointers, Planers-Woodworking Machines-Oliver Machinery."

It looks like it may have some proprietary part. It could be a problem getting replacement. The bed size is only 13"x18". You may want to put your cash toward something like something from CNCrouterparts:surprise:

Tony there are several things to consider.

Here are the Specs:
Table Saw, Jointers, Planers-Woodworking Machines-Oliver Machinery.

Is it in good shape? How old? Any damage? Missing parts?
Any modifications? Why?
What software is included? Any transfer fees?
Does it include bits? Are they still usable?
Are sample projects from the machine available for view?

Then you need to ask yourself:
Is this big enough for my needs? 13x18x3 150w spindle (not very powerful)
It does not have any warranty, can I make repairs that are needed? Can I find parts?

The 1013 is Discontinued but you can buy a new one here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0065QO3GK/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
You can also look at the reviews of people that have one.

Good information, based on all of the ratings I read , it seems that the operators were mostly inexperienced that gave the top ratings and the more experienced operators rated it rather low. There seems to be a wide gap in what the expectations and the actual performance seems to be.

thanks guys for all the help with info ...as it were I visited the guy today, machine looks to be mint he had all kinds spare bits and some new. He put a board on the bed and he did a small cut ....about 20 minutes worth.....the software for this model is I-Pic USB based for computer. it only cuts left to right across area, and will cut up and down based on file and that is all this can do. because of this software can't set it up do cut three or four circles just won't do it. long story short I was frustrated by the 14th minute and after he showed me what it had done I decided I wouldn't offer him $300 so I passed on it......ya not what I'm looking for......sure it will do what it will do but I don't have that kind of time to wait. he showed me a picture of a face he did on the side of a box, approx. 8" x 10" the detail was about 8/10 but he said that took 7 hours.......I thought wow I probably do it by hand in 3 hours
