Shop STANLEY No. 4 Bailey Bench Plane, 1-12-2004. Review: It's a Stanley - expect quality - It's a Stanley, so it works, it's stable, it's reliable. Having spent 20GBP on a cheap "Pound Shop" own brand plane, ones sees where the extra money goes on a quality product from a quality manufacturer. And one does not regret it. My "cheap" plane is now wedging the workshop door open (it's about all it's any use for.) There's an old adage "buy cheap, buy twice" - at least when it comes to tools. Lesson learned. Hand plane obsessives and/or collectors will no doubt opine that the totes are plastic and not wood, and this and that are some micrometers too big/small, the quality of the cutting iron , etc. - but for an average "handyman" (or woman or non gendered specific individual,) this just gets the job done. Like all planes (and cutting tools generally,) even "new" it will benefit from a bit of "setting up" - e.g. lap the base, soften/bevel the edged, sharpen the iron, check everything is lubricated - I also like to sand down the mould seems on the totes for extra comfort - but once done it's a joy to use. For newbies, there's plenty of YouTube vids showing how to set up a plane. Review: Good quality plane but not perfect - This is a quality hand plane in overall. I give 4 star because the cap iron on my one (which I bought a few weeks ago) had a very rough finish at the front contact with cutter which sometimes traps wood chips when in a fine setting (very annoying). So I had to sand down and polish the front contact edge of the cap iron with sandpapers (240 to 2000 grades). Now the problem disappeared and it is a definitely nice hand plane. ## Features - Suitable for fine finishing of cabinet work and general joinery work, removing very fine shavings of wood to leave a smooth finish - Chrome carbon steel hardened and tempered cutter blade retains a sharper cutting edge - Easy to use rapid fine adjustment mechanism for greater accuracy and faster blade removal for sharpening - Precision cast fine grey iron base for improved stability and wear resistance - 245 mm Smoothing planer with a 45mm cutter width ideal for planing smaller areas of wood ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001GRVKU | | Base Material | Iron | | Best Sellers Rank | 124,713 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 46 in Smoothing Planes | | Brand | STANLEY | | Colour | Multi-colour | | Country of Origin | Mexico | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (433) | | Cutting Depth | 45 Millimeters | | Cutting Width | 5 Centimeters | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05000366120041 | | Included Components | Smooth Plane | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 25.1L x 14.4W x 6.8H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Smooth Plane Bailey No. 4 | | Item Weight | 1.92 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Toolbank (First Order Account) | | Material | Carbon Steel | | Model Number | 1-12-004 | | Power source | Manual | | Style | Modern | | UPC | 604310237677 027131845614 798256198892 | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** STANLEY - **Colour:** Multi-colour - **Item weight:** 1.92 Kilograms - **Material:** Carbon Steel - **Product dimensions:** 25.1L x 14.4W x 6.8H centimetres ## Images ![STANLEY No. 4 Bailey Bench Plane, 1-12-2004 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51hCoZehBjL.jpg) ![STANLEY No. 4 Bailey Bench Plane, 1-12-2004 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VVMUqVSsL.jpg) ![STANLEY No. 4 Bailey Bench Plane, 1-12-2004 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/510rL2a5dmL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Pattern, Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this a sweetheart edition?** A: no it is not, save your money and buy a different plane this thing is a complete pile of crap the sole looks to have been surfaced behind a car at 60 mph on asphalt, they used a dull beaver to grind the blade crooked i might ad. it really is a piece of crap maybe check out tay tools or bite the bullet and buy a wood river or veritas or something else, anything else. **Q: Is this good for flattening wood for jointery and squaring off engrain?** A: This plane will flatten, square, thickness plane and smooth. Many wood workers use a jack plane instead of a smoother. This of course depends on how well the plane has been prepared i.e. Flattened sole, Sharpened Blade with the back side of the blade flattened, all mating parts are flat and the chip breaker must sit flat on the blade. **Q: can the frog be adjusted** A: Yes, same design as the original **Q: seller how long it is?** A: On the amazon page it says this: Product Dimensions 22.6 x 6.2 x 3.4 inches So 22.6 inches or 57.404 cm ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's a Stanley - expect quality *by W***R on 29 June 2022* It's a Stanley, so it works, it's stable, it's reliable.
