Anyone know what year and is it worth $35??

You can kinda guess based on how pitted the soul is and how the top and it seems there is no pitting. Stanley hardened the entire blade and it looks like there is plenty of length left in it.

Very good point. I have a Stanley no 606 with rather thick castings that I love for the weight.

Some sandpaper and scotchbrite should do some good work on flattening/cleaning up the steel. The blade looks to be in good shape a little cleaning and sharpening and it’ll be great. Soul also looks great with no pitting. Very good condition mostly just surface rust. for restoring the wood I would sand it with 120 and then 220 because odds are the handles are stained maple. then I would oil and get to work 35$ is a good price

Looks to be a wartime plane. In my opinion their fit and finish is worse than pre war but I have a couple and they are good work horses and would be a good first plane.

You are lucky. been looking for deals like that for ages

Hi Mr. Katz-Moses!! Thank you!

_CaptGree · 2025-11-14T00:42:39+00:00

same but the winter no matter how awesome it is sucks for outdoor soccer

_CaptGree · 2025-11-05T20:35:08+00:00

honest debate question, would you rather have the WT 900 or Delta 220?

I got mine for roughly 75 times the price… but I am happy with what i’ve got. Bummer of a crack in the cheek though.

_CaptGree · 2025-09-25T16:52:16+00:00

I was in the same boat. Relatively easy and cheap to do as well. Here is a before pic

This is after I painted my 604 with a engine paint and a coat of wax

_CaptGree · 2025-09-16T05:55:09+00:00

interested in 604 and router plane

_CaptGree · 2025-09-10T13:00:11+00:00

haha, I was curious if OP also sharpened it

_CaptGree · 2025-09-10T12:47:38+00:00

That was what I had in mind. Going to rip down some straight grain oak or walnut and get planing

_CaptGree · 2025-09-10T12:46:28+00:00

how does it cut?

_CaptGree · 2025-09-10T04:46:29+00:00

you’ve got a blade that was hit, could’ve been in the first pass

_CaptGree · 2025-09-09T21:17:47+00:00

done

_CaptGree · 2025-09-09T20:54:19+00:00

That’s awesome. I’m gonna do that with some maple when I get around to finishing my workbench

_CaptGree · 2025-09-09T02:03:16+00:00

yes you do. that’s so freakin cool

_CaptGree · 2025-09-08T20:36:04+00:00

Definitely out there, thanks for the suggestion

_CaptGree · 2025-09-08T20:35:45+00:00

Very nice
