Mark's Machinery started in Montreal back in 1978. In 1983, Mark's moved to the Ottawa area and has operated there ever since. Since 1983, Mark's has prided itself in providing a source of both new and used woodworking and metal-working equipment not only to the home hobbyist, but also to school shops, government departments, and various manufacturing facilities, machine shops and large corporations.

Over the years, Mark's Machinery has, through word of mouth from satisfied customers, built up a reputation for personal service, quality equipment, great prices, and flexibility ("bending over backward" to please the customer).
