Stanley Bailey No. 4 Bench Plane

Stanley Bailey No. 4 Bench Plane

Actual Bailey pattern Stanley bench planes are still available from Stanley. They are made in Mexico and have plastic handles. Comes with a high carbon steel blade and has an adjustable frog.

The No. 4 is a standard smoothing plane, and is typically used just prior to sanding, scraping or finishing. It is 9-3/4” long x 2-1/2” wide with a 2” wide iron. The iron has a rough factory grind and must be sharpened by the end user. Time must be spent flattening the back of the iron and honing the bevel square and sharp before using.
