It would help if you gave some idea of the capabilty you need from the machine?

You can get a decent 13" wide DW733 new for less than your budget.

hello,i'm looking for a 10x8 our bigger ,induction motor ,single phase and some thing you can get parts for and it got to plan oak thank you

It is a bit of a tall order to expect long term spares support of anything to meet your budget. That said there is not much to break on older traditional machines. Stay away from far eastern imports - there is hardly enough spare support to cover much more than warranty period.

Have a look at sedgwick, scheppach perhaps, Startrite, Wadkin, Multico etc
