Keen Kutter K5 similar to round top Bedrock.

 

[Hmerkle]

Gee, without the KK5, you really wouldn't know the difference would you?

are there any quirks, or did it refurbish and work like a Stanley?

 

[Mike Davis]

Works great, somebody left it in a cabinet drawer full of sawdust so the frog setting screw was rusted tight. Had to soak overnight to get it loose. Other than that it was an easy clean up.

The real difference is under the frog.

That's a hard one to find. Very nice...

 

[Mike Davis]

Had to buy the cabinet to get it.

KK5 is not like the Bedrock. Only the K planes. Always look for a single K.

 

[Mike Davis]

This is all I had to go on. Can you spot the other good part of this buy?

What shape are the machinist's clamps in?

Then why did you say it was similar to a Bedrock?
I don't see another good part of the buy... maybe you can resell the wood for a King's ransom?!

There are K planes and KK planes. K planes are like Bedrock. KK planes are like regular Stanley-Bailey planes.

Matt saw the 4 small machinist clamps. They cleaned up like nice old used clamps and I figure they should be between $10 and $15 each.

The K's were made by Stanley and are functionally identical to the Bedrock.

The KK's were made by The Ohio Tool Company and later by Sargent.

They are fairly rare and usually priced accordingly. Great find.
