Bailey 4 1/2 for sale - tablesawtom - 12-01-2024
I have a Bailey 4 1/2 type 12 for sale. To my understanding, the difference between a type 11 and a type 12 is the 12 has a high knob. I really do not care about types so I never looked into types, but some do so I mention it because of the high knob.
The plane has ben precision ground and was flat within .001 when ground. The plane is probably at least 100 years old and the casting stress is pretty much been relieved so it is probably still flat with in .001 or better. It has been stripped and repainted The knob and tote are both rose wood and have been refinished. The knob has a opts as can be seen in a picture. The blade has also been touch upped reground so there is no pitting at the blade and it need no or very little flattening.
The frog has a solid face as can be seen in the photos and it is a sought after plane because there is no side play at the front of the frog making it easier to adjust the blade side to side. The blade is sharp but can probably use tune up. This was my user until I got a Keen Kutter K4 1/2
It is ready to work right out of the box. I had a roof leak and have a couple of water spots. it is cosmetic and does not effect precision flatness of the body. I did ask $20less because of a couple of spots
Asking $130 plus shipping. Any way pictures. I do like the first picture to show it completely apart so no struck parts are hidden. One can see the reflection of the spot on the table on the actual surfaces of the plane. and the end of the lateral adjuster is broken off.
