Hank,
I don't have experience with that particular grinder but have a few comments. IMHO, the only thing "Wilton" about the grinder is the little sticker on it that says Wilton. It is a cookie cutter clone of all the small bench grinders made in China.
It has the same flimsy, stamped steel tool rests and rocker switch that all the imports do. Finding a American made grinder today is probably darn near impossible, so considering this, your intended purchase seems great.
If you go to the Harbor Freight site, you will find almost exact copies of your grinder, at a tad less cost. All these units work OK...they remove material. Baldor 'might' still make a grinder that is made on this continent, but I doubt it. I bought one years ago and made sure I got husky, cast iron tool rests with it.
When I worked in the mill, I bought a 6" HF grinder and a 10" HF grinder. I used them hard and they stood up quite well. If the arbors are true and the bearings sufficient, all the technology is in the grinding wheel itself. This is where you want to put your money.
I still resent manufacturers sticking well know brand names on these imports and trying to convince John Q Public that, because of the lineage of the brand name, these things are anything more than cheap imports. We Americans shop price, and this is what evolved..things priced right from China.
I suggest you buy the unit you have linked, it's exactly the same as any other grinder you will find anywhere you look.
