Sargent Auto-Set Bench Plane
Sargent Steel Block Plane
The Sargent AUto-Set Bench plane is the handiest all-round plane you could have in your workshop. It is true, keen cutting, time-saving. It can be used on the rougher jobs where a good deep cut is a necessity as well as on finer work requiring a clean, quick finish.
You’ll find its adjustments remarkably simple. With the auto-set feature you can remove the chromium steel cutter, whet and replace it without changing the original adjustment.
Then there’s the Sargent Steel Block plane. This is small in size and a right convenient tool for any work-bench. The special low angle arrangement of cutter makes it particularly good for cross-grain cutting and rough or knotty surfaces. And you can’t beat it for the finishing touches or work in close quarters.
See these planes at your hardware dealer’s and write for the Sargent Book of Planes which is full of detailed information.
