Great Stanley No. 605C Bedrock Jack Plane – Corrugated Sole, Flat Side, One-Line Lever Cap

A classic example of Stanley’s Bedrock engineering, this No. 605C jack plane features a corrugated sole, flat side body, and the desirable one-line “BED ROCK” lever cap—

The japanning on the back appears enhanced, offering a clean presentation while preserving its vintage charm.

• Corrugated Sole: Reduces friction and weight—ideal for long stock and heavy planing
• Flat Side Body: Early Bedrock design with squared-off cheeks for improved frog seating and lateral stability
• Lever Cap: One-line “BED ROCK”
• Triple Screw Frog Design: Allows precise adjustment of the frog while the iron is set, enabling effortless mouth tuning for clean, tear-free cuts
• Bedrock Engineering: The frog seats fully against the mouth edge, creating a rigid, chatter-resistant assembly—the reason behind the name “Bedrock”
• Japanning: Enhanced on the rear section—clean and uniform with strong visual appeal
• Condition: Solid rosewood tote and knob, tight components, and crisp casting details

These “flat top” Bedrocks are prized by users for their precision, rigidity, and intuitive adjustability—a design that continues to set the gold standard in bench planes.
