Extra Info: What is a Router? Router Videos
Manufacturer: Sargent
Plane Type: Router
Model No: 73
The Sargent router number 73 is a small brass router available with
different sized cutters.
The cutter can be positioned to operate as an open mouth router or a
closed mouth router including being able to carry out bullnose work.
There are two seperate holes to place the cutter stem through; one hole
in the center and one hole towards the rear.
The cutter is held in position with a knurled
nut. The cutter is quickly adjusted by unscrewing the nut slightly,
allowing the cutter to be moved easily up and down or rotated.
The Sargent 73 is similar to the small
Edward Preston No. 22 Router,
and the
Stanley 271 Small Router.
In recent times Veritas Tools have introduced a small router which is similar
to the Sargent 73 Router and Stanley 271 Router, see the
Veritas Small Router Review.
Sharpen the router cutter on the bevelled side of the cutter using a slip stone / sharpening
stone. Once sharp, remove any burrs / wirey pieces of metal with a flat swipe or two
of the slip stone underneath the cutter.
The router cutter shouldn't be sharpened from underneath; the underneath should be
flat with no bevel.

"Just stumbled across your website and an absolute treasure trove of information.
I was recently given an old Stanley 110 block plane and wanted to know more about it.
Your website told me everything I needed to know.
But there is so much more to read. I forsee me spending a lot of time just reading
page after page. I can appreciate how much time this will have taken to put together.
I just wanted to let you know that your hard work is appreciated."
