Additional Notes:
The Sargent No. 1085 combination plane was closely modeled on Stanley’s No. 55 combination plane. The main difference being in the way the cutters were placed in the adjusting wheel, using two notches to engage the supports in the screw nut. Sargent also used a suitcase style wooden case to hold the plane body, cutters and other parts.
