It's a 107.
The Sargent equivalent of a Stanley 110.
It's not really old as Sargent planes go. At some point they removed the samll raised bump at the heel, it was present before the 1920's iir.

It needs a deep box.
Needs to be 2" min. depth if you only enter from top/bottom. 2-1/2" min. if you enter from the back. No side entry on a single width box.
The wire connectors are 1/4" fast-ons,...
FWIW the information I posted came directly from the manufacturer of Titebond adhesives.
It matches my experience too.
A chalky appearance indicates the glue got too cold during use (chalk temperature).
Titebond can tolerate some freeze/thaw cycles in storage. As long as the glue looks and smells normal it is ok....
As many as needed.
The chart Leo posted is good advise ime.
But I differ on length of time to wait before topcoating.
If you allow each coat to dry you can topcoat after the final coat is dry...
The jump from extra-fine to xx-fine is not too great. I use that on hard steels to good effect.
The finish off a xx-fine stone is ok, but can be improved by stropping.
I use .25 - .5 micron diamond...
Mikes oil is polymerized and will dry fairly quickly. A few days.
Other walnut oils can take a week or more, depending on how they are processed and how they are applied.
Some will never dry...
I was just perusing some related research and came across an interesting study on conservation of wood and finished wood products done by researchers at the Smithsonian.
Their tests concluded that...
Try asking for Black Ash (aka Swamp Ash).
Fraxinus nigra
As others said it's lighter in weight than other ash species and popular with guitar makers.
The wood is commonly found in Ohio and other...
The horn was a unique feature on the Sargent 79 duplex rabbet plane, a copy of the Stanley 78.
Yours is a later model.
Earlier models would have had Sargent cast into the handle and a more...
There were/are many processes that can be, and are, called cast steel.
But the methods mentioned by Harry and Mike are most historically accurate, as the methods are quite different from Bessemer...
I'd try oil first.
Much less likely to warp or distort.
If it doesn't get close to file hard in oil try water.
"Cast steel" can be anything, really. But most of the old ww'ing stuff is just...
I've only done a handfull, maybe 5 or 6, but in my experience the fix is permanent.
Never had one loosen or revert.
Not much force is used. A quick snap of the wrist is all. Better to make a few...
The easiest and safest way I have found is to whack it.
Seriously.
Filing is irreversible and very difficult, especially on the inside edge of the blade.
Stanley adjusted their riveted squares...
Uhh, well, I guess there are more frustrating things you could possibly do.. but I can't think of any right now. :D
Good luck with the hunt!
Here's to better success than I had.
Several things can cause this, sometimes in combination.
If the frog is canted or angled left or right.
If the sole, the frog bed and frog base are not parallel/co-planar the blade will sit at...
That fits with their plane numbering scheme as well.
They would add a suffix when some minor detail was changed. Trouble is they were never consistent about it!
That's not a very reliable indicator by itself.
Stanley, who made planes for numerous other companies, used a lateral adjuster that closely resembles Sargents, on planes produced for third parties....
Millers Falls most lilkely.
The raised and rounded bump in the casting under the front knob, the red frog, the bumps at the toe and heal and the large, silver, finely knurled depth adjuster are all...
If you are scraping varnish I wouldn't turn a burr. It won't last more than a stroke or two.
Use a thick, hard blade and file a bevel (~45 deg works about right) on the end and call it good. Dress...
Probably a good plane, under all that red paint!
It's a Millers Falls underneath. But for $40 I'd pass. You could get a genuine one for that price. The machining will probably be better and you...
The Sargent is what's known as a transitional plane.
It combines a wood body with iron/steel mechanicals.
I forgot to ask, does VBM appear on the toe and/or blade? That would help date it.
...
It's figured as about R-1 for spaces of 1/2" - 4".
This presumes a perfect seal to contain the air.
Your plastic has an R value of about 0!
Foam panels are light weight and have very high R...
The sounds generated by wood working machinery and power tools are high enough in frequency that _almost anything_ that stops air will stop the noise. You don't have to worry about isolation of low...
