PLANES
Sargent Steel Block Plane No. 5206
Sargent Auto-Set Bench Plane No. 714
THESE Sargent Planes are popular tools with carpenters, manual training instructors and students, and chaps with home workshops. The reason is not hard to find. They are professional tools through and through — time-tested and proved most worthy. Carpenters find them superior for the most difficult jobs. Many school and home work benches can also testify to the quality of the work they do. They resist wear, seldom if ever needing repair or replacement.
The Sargent Auto-Set Bench plane No. 714 — the larger of the two illustrated — is particularly easy to adjust. The cutter of wear-resisting chromium steel can be removed, resharpened and replaced without changing original adjustments. How cleanly and quickly it cuts — across the grain, against the grain and over rough or knotty surfaces, with never the slightest chatter. The Auto-Set is quite a time-saver — a tool of delightful “feel” and balance. It makes the big jobs easy.
The Sargent Steel Block Plane No. 5206 is a convenient plane for the smaller jobs. The low angle of cutter particularly fits it for end work. The cutter here, as in every Sargent Plane, is of chromium steel — selected because of its unusual edge-holding ability.
These two planes will take care of practically every job you’ll ever have. They are versitile, dependable, lasting — and really most economical. You’ll be proud to own both. See them at almost any good hardware store and write us now for free descriptive booklets.
