What Is MachineToolsForSale.COM?
Updated
MachineToolsForSale.COM is the website of Mason Mechanical Labs, an industrial distributor based in Salem, Virginia. According to the site itself, it exists to show the new and used tooling and accessory items the company has available for the metalworking industry. At the time of the site's own notice, it was in the process of being rebuilt, with more features to come.
Who runs it
The site identifies its operator directly:
- Company: Mason Mechanical Labs
- Type: Industrial distributor
- Location: Salem, Virginia
- Phone: 540-387-0463
- Email: listed on the site (obfuscated in the source excerpt)
The homepage is published on Weebly, which is why the footer carries a "Proudly powered by Weebly" line.
What it offers
The site's stated purpose is to display inventory for the metalworking industry. The categories named on the page are:
| Category | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Used Accessories | Second-hand accessory items |
| New Tooling | New cutting and tooling products |
| Used Tooling | Second-hand tooling |
| Machinery Manuals | Documentation for machines |
This is a distributor's catalog-style site rather than a marketplace, auction platform, or forum. The inventory shown is what Mason Mechanical Labs itself has available.
Current state of the site
The homepage carries an explicit notice that the website is being rebuilt and that more features will be added. Two practical implications:
- Inventory and navigation may be incomplete. If a category page looks thin or a feature seems missing, that is consistent with the rebuild notice rather than a sign you are on the wrong site.
- Contact may be the faster route. For availability, pricing, or specifications, the phone number and email on the homepage are the direct channels to the distributor.
When this site is relevant to you
It is worth checking if you are sourcing tooling or accessories for metalworking and want a U.S.-based distributor in southwest Virginia, or if you are looking for used tooling and manuals that are often harder to find through mainstream suppliers. It is not a general-purpose price comparison site, and the page as captured does not publish pricing, shipping terms, or account requirements — those details would need to come from the distributor directly.
