   CL,

   Robland are Ypean - Belgian maybe? 

   Anyroadup, there are a few reviews of various Robland machines on this website:

   http://www.woodworkersinstitute.com/

   Enter "Robland" in the search box near the top right hand corner of the screen and it comes back with half a dozen hits.

   Mind, the reviews are from a British WW magazine that is perhaps not as critical as FWW is when reviewing tools.  Nevertheless, their descriptions may help.

   I had a 12” version of their jointer/planner/mortiser some years ago; selling it was the greatest woodworking mistake I ever made it was a great machine.  If it is in good shape go for it, you’ll be very glad you did.

   This is a heavy-duty bull-hoss of a machine. And it requires 3 phase power, unless the owner has changed the 10HP motor to something less. Hopefully you have 3 phase or a converter. Robland is made in Belguim and is really heavy duty.
