   You should not pay much for that jointer, because the outfeed table will not adjust.
   If the TS is 3 ph. think half of what you would pay for single.

   I have the 6" version of that jointer with a direct drive motor.  With its long bed and four knife cutter head it is a very smooth machine.  Mine was like new and I paid $500.00 for it, and thought it was great deal.  Don't worry about the non-adjustabe outfeed table, this machine stays in tune better than any I own.  I am a firm believer in used iron, none of my large equipment was purchaced new.  BTW, did you go by the infeed size or the outfeed, it looks like a 6" in the picture.

   He said it was 8" but may be stretching it a bit. This other photo makes it look like 8 inches to me with the width of a spread hand being around 9". The surface looks good in the photo. I Have not seen this machine in person yet as it is a 3 hour drive.
   Cheers

   Better view, that looks like eight inches.  If the price is right I'd go for it, like I said I love mine.  These are not cast iron but fabricated steel, which I think is better.

   Do not buy that jointer!  give me the address and i will have a talk with the owner and convince them of their errors and haul it away for free

   1 - measure the board twice, 2 - cut it once, 3 - measure the space where it is supposed to go        4 - get a new board and go back to step 1
