Meet Jonathan Lester

The name Used Machinery Source wasn't chosen simply because I sell used machinery. It reflects the role I've built throughout my career—to be a trusted source for quality used CNC machinery, accurate information, honest guidance, and lasting relationships. Whether you're looking to move equipment or searching for the right machine, my goal is to be a trusted resource your company can rely on to make informed decisions with confidence.

My introduction to the used machinery business began in 1988, making cold calls for my uncle. Over the years, I came to realize this industry is about much more than buying and selling machines. It's about building relationships, earning trust, and helping companies solve problems. That early experience laid the foundation for the way I still do business today.

Since those early days, I've had the opportunity to work with manufacturers, machine shops, OEM distributors, banks, finance companies, and businesses throughout North America. Along the way, I've learned that lasting relationships are built through honesty, responsiveness, and doing what's right for the customer—even when it isn't the easiest path.

What I enjoy most about this business is the relationships. Many of the companies I work with today have been customers for years, and some for decades. There's no greater compliment than having someone call again because they trust your advice and know you'll always do what's right for them.

Whether you're looking to buy a machine, move surplus equipment, or simply need honest advice, I'd appreciate the opportunity to earn your trust and your business.
