EnglishIs MachineToolsForSale.COM a Source for New and Used Metalworking Tooling?
Updated
Yes — with one important caveat. MachineToolsForSale.COM states that it shows new and used tooling and accessory items for the metalworking industry, and it is run by an industrial distributor, Mason Mechanical Labs, located in Salem, Virginia. However, the site itself says it is in the process of being rebuilt, so you should treat it as a pointer to the distributor rather than a finished, browsable catalog. If you need to confirm what is actually in stock today, contact the distributor directly rather than relying on the site's current pages.
What the site says it offers
According to the site's own description, MachineToolsForSale.COM is intended to display:
- New tooling
- Used tooling
- Used accessories
- Machinery manuals
The site frames this as inventory "we have available for the metalworking industry," which places it in the tooling and accessory supply category rather than general industrial equipment classifieds.
Who operates it
The site identifies its operator as Mason Mechanical Labs, described as an industrial distributor in Salem, Virginia. That matters for two reasons:
- You are dealing with a distributor, not a peer-to-peer marketplace — so availability, condition grading, and pricing come from one business.
- Any purchase, quote, or condition question goes through that business, not through a self-service checkout on the website.
The limitation you should plan around
The site explicitly states it is "in the process of rebuilding" and that more features are coming, with a thank-you for patience. In practice this means:
- Category pages may be incomplete or empty.
- You cannot assume a listed item is still available.
- You cannot assume the absence of an item means it is unavailable.
Treat the website as an introduction to the distributor and a starting point for an inquiry.
How to verify availability
Because the catalog is under construction, the reliable path is direct contact:
- Phone: 540-387-0463
- Email: the address published on the site
When you reach out, it helps to be specific so you get a useful answer in one exchange. For example, instead of asking "what tooling do you have," ask about a defined need: the type of tooling or accessory, the machine it fits, whether you want new or used, and the quantity. That lets the distributor tell you what is on hand versus what would need to be sourced.
When this site is a good fit — and when it isn't
| Your situation | Is this a reasonable source? |
|---|---|
| You want new or used metalworking tooling and accessories from a US distributor | Yes, worth contacting directly |
| You need machinery manuals | The site lists manuals as a category — ask what is available |
| You want to browse a live, self-service catalog with confirmed stock | Not yet — the site is being rebuilt |
| You need immediate price comparison across many sellers | No — this is a single distributor, not a marketplace |
| You are outside the US and need local support | Unclear from the site; ask about shipping and support before committing |
Practical next step
Decide what you need first — a specific tooling item, a used accessory, or a manual — then call or email with that detail. If the answer is "not in stock," ask whether it can be sourced and on what timeline. That single conversation will tell you more about fit than the current website can, since the site is still being rebuilt.
