Sargent 507
After keeping it in a drawer for several months, I finally decided to restore an old Sargent 507, a truly exclusive model that Stanley never produced. It’s the block plane version of the more famous Stanley 10. The 507 is designed for cutting rabbets, very handy and suitable for one-handed use. It’s well-finished, with a blade mounted bevel-up, which is thicker compared to that of classic Stanley block planes. Needless to say, it’s not limited to finishing rabbets and tenons; it also proves to be reliable and capable of producing fine shavings when finishing with the grain.
