ALMOST as sharp as a razor blade; even after considerable cutting! Zing! — with the grain, ‘gainst the grain and ‘cross the grain — feel the Sargent Auto_Set Bench Plane cut smoothly and cleanly.

The diamond-like toughness of chromium alloy permits the use of a thin blade — and the thinner the blade, the keener the cutting edge. The advantage of a thin blade is also emphasized when it finally needs whetting. It is honed in a jiffy — replaced — and shaving away in short order, with the original adjustment unchanged.

For the finishing touches and working in restricted quarters, you need the Sargent Steel Pocket Plane and the Steel Block Plane. These smaller planes are indispensable to every work-bench. They are light, handy faithful — the tools of master craftsmen.

Write for the Sargent Book of Planes. It’s
full of interesting information. And see these
