Sargent Steel Block Plane
Sargent Auto-Set Bench Plane
IN THIS home workshop, radio is king. In fact a goodly number of big and little sets, comparable to expensive commercial types, have gone from this bench into neighboring homes. This young man has a reputation for good workmanship. He takes particular pride in his ability to choose and use good tools.
Once you have used the handy little Sargent Steel Block Plane no other finishing plane will do. It is great for work in close quarters, for smoothing up panels, bureau drawers that have been sticking, and similar things. It is as true and clean cutting and as finely made as the larger Auto-Set Bench Plane shown above.
The Auto-Set, of course, should be in every workshop for use on the bigger jobs. It is light in weight and remarkably easy to adjust or sharpen. The chromium steel cutter may be removed, honed and replaced without changing the original adjustment. Yet it is so firmly held in place that it never chatters even when cutting across the grain or over rough and knotty surfaces. You will find the Sargent Auto-Set Plane an aid to speed an accuracy.
