A Stanley Rule & Level Co. Bed Rock No. 605 jack plane has a cast-iron body, a smooth sole, and dark wooden front knob and rear tote. Raised BED ROCK lettering appears at the toe, with No. 605 cast at the heel and the Stanley Rule & Level Co. name stamped on the cutter. The Bed Rock design is distinguished by the broad, closely fitted seat beneath its frog, the angled support for the cutter. Stanley designed this solid bearing surface to limit vibration at the cutting edge. The frog can also be shifted to open or close the mouth without removing the cutter, allowing the setup to be changed for coarse or fine work. A brass wheel adjusts cutting depth, while the lateral lever adjusts the cutting edge's alignment across the sole. The plane measures approximately 13.5" x 2.5" x 5.25" tall.
