Stanley’s Innovative Designs
In 1869, Stanley acquired Leonard Bailey’s patents for metal-bodied planes, a pivotal moment in the company’s history.
Bailey’s innovative designs revolutionized the woodworking industry, offering superior adjustability and durability compared to traditional wooden planes. Stanley’s adoption and further refinement of these designs set the stage for the company’s dominance in the hand tool market.
The Rise of the Bailey Line
Stanley’s most iconic series of wood planes, the Bailey line, named after Leonard Bailey, became synonymous with quality and precision.
Introduced in the late 19th century, the Bailey line featured various types of planes, including block planes, jointer planes, and smooth planes. The Stanley No. 4 Smooth Plane quickly emerged as the most popular model in the lineup due to its versatility and exceptional performance.
