    I am looking for a cutting iron for my Bedrock 605 plane. I purchased one to restore and use. I will have a very good tool if I could find a blade for it. Does anyone know where I can buy one?

    Paul, the 605 takes the same iron as a #5. I’ve got a list of possible vintages resellers here, http://lumberjocks.com/donwilwol/blog/24092 and there is always eBay.

    You can also buy after market irons at many places. Woodcraft, Hock Tools, and Lee Valley just to name a few.

    Just beware some of the after market are thicker so you may have to open up the mouth a little. Ask your supplier if your concerned.

      I purchased a blade for a Stanley #5 because it was advertised to fit. When I receiver it, it was much shorter than the defective one that was on the 605 I bought. I will look it over again.
      Thanks much for the info.
