Wilton tradesman for $75

[Grant Gunderson]

Picked up a 6 ½ inch Wilton Tradesman for $75. It was a bit rusted but a little time with some scotchbright and felt wheels on the grinder and it cleaned up quite nice. I fully tore it down cleaned the internals added all new lubricant and then replaced the ¼ retaining pins with steel set screws to make it easier to tear down in the future.

Killz Hammerite rust cap in Lt. Blue. It was a pretty spot on match for the original color.
