ridgid 13 inch planer questions

[goaliedad]

I'm helping my b-i-l look for a planer. I found a "6 to 7 year old Ridgid 13 inch" unit. Are blades available? Any issues to consider?
I know the guy that has this for sale- it hasn't been used in 5 years- or at least not much- it still has the original blades in it!

Thanks much!

That would be the original gray TP1300. Excellent machine, I have never had a single problem with mine. The blades are reversable so you get twice the milage out of them and they are still available @ Home Depot
