Does anyone know where I could find a cutter for the Sargent #507? It looks like the LN 60 1/2 R but the adjuster is different.
I have considered resizing stanley bench plane cutters, etc, but most wide cutters have a slot down the middle, and the cutter wouldn't rest on the adjustment block. It would just bridge it and hang in mid air.
I think if I got a 2" wide piece of O1 (already hardened) I could grind the adjustment slots with a dremel and grind the shoulders on a bench grinder without fear of overheating the steel where it matters. The plane body is a hair under 1 7/8" wide.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
