Stanley 607C Plane Review By: I.Ball
Category: Old Jointer Planes
Manufacturer: Stanley
Plane Type: Jointer
Model No: 607C
The Stanley Bedrock plane number 607C is basically identical to the
Stanley 607 plane
with the exception of the sole. The sole of the number 607C has a series
of parallel grooves running the length of the sole.
This type of sole is referred to as a corrugated sole. The 'C' in the
model number '607C' stands for 'corrugated'.
The idea behind the corrugated plane is the sole has less friction when
planing, particularly as the board becomes true. The smoothness of the
planing can be improved further by lubricating the sole with oil/wax etc.
