From Popular Mechanics, February 1927
JUST feel the edge of a Sargent cutter when you’ve rubbed it up a bit. “Sharp” is the word. It’s the chromium steel that does it — the unusually tough and wear-resisting steel which permits the use of a thinner and more quickly sharpened blade.
But that’s not the only reason why this particular Sargent cutter is so easy to sharpen. This chap is using an Auto-Set — which has a time and labor saving feature found in no other plane. The Auto-Set cutter may be removed and replaced without changing the original adjustment.
the Auto-Set together with the small steel block plane should be on every school and home work-bench. They are lasting and inexpensive — costing less than you would expect to pay for the planes that so many professional carpenters use. See them at your hardware dealer’s and write us for descriptive booklet.
