The set of user bench planes I have collected and restored consist mainly
of Stanley Bailey Type 9,10 and 11. I chose this type as one that is easier to
restore. The surfaces were the frog meets the sole are more solid in particular and I
prefer the low front knob. I am not an expert on bench planes. Type Studies of the Bailey
Bench Plane have been posted by others better informed than I (Jay Sutherland,
Patrick
Leach, Etc. ) but given here is a "Wizard" written in the JavaScript language
which can help you determine the "Type" of your Bailey bench plane using the
protocols previously developed by Sutherland. OldToolUser's Bailey's Bench Plane Type Wizard
