A Stanley Bailey transitional wood-bottom plane refers to a highly popular line of hybrid woodworking hand tools manufactured by the Stanley Rule & Level Company from 1869 until 1943. These tools combined the smooth-gliding feel of a traditional beechwood sole with the precise, mechanical metal frog and blade adjustment systems invented by Leonard Bailey.
