So which one do you think works better, electrolysis or evaporust? I watched videos but would like personal opinions

Understand WHY the first pix is upside down?

. . .

The reason I asked this was to have you realize the different positioning of the camera when you took the pix.

Yes, sorry, there is another motor on the base LOL

Depends upon the part being treated. Evapoprust for small parts, electrolysis for larger parts. Electrolysis somewhat messier etc. Evaporust usually quicker.

bdb76,

Below is a Model 10ER I restored in a condition near to yours. It is not the worst condition I have found one in and restored though.

Even a tool that looks like a "basket case" can be brought back to life. For the one above I mainly used vinegar as a rust remover. I have used Evaporust too but have not tried electrolysis. Evaporust works quicker than vinegar but also cost more. Since it is a weak acid there are parts that vinegar should not be used on. Alloy parts attached to steel or cast iron parts needing de-rusting can be damaged by vinegar/acid. Some collars are alloy and there are steel/alloy combination assemblies used on the Jig Saw. For the way tubes I have a PVC pipe with a glued on cap on one end and press the cap on the other. It's the best way I have used for de-rusting the way tubes. After three days in the vinegar the way tube is ready to be rinsed/neutralized, dried and polished. That was the process used for the way tubes shown above.
