I think the tool is made in China. I bought this tool because of the price. I did a lot of research before hand and I came across a couple blogs where a few woodworkers are convinced this tool comes out of the same factory as a high end hand plane. This plane is primarily sold in England from what I gathered. This woodworker said it’s an almost identical hand plane. I’m new to using them and it has been awesome so far. I hope this helps.

Q: Is there a replacement blade for the taytools 469614 smoothing bench hand plane #4, 9-3/4 inch?

I am using a Hock blade and chip breaker. It fits and works well.

Q: Is this a Bedrock or Bailey style frog?

This actually has the Bailey style frog. It has the forward/back adjustment screw at the back, visible in some of the supplied pictures, but the frog is secured in place with two screws under the iron, as found in the Bailey pattern planes. If this were a bedrock style, those screws would be on either side of the adjustment screw in back and there would be pins holding the frog in place, where the screws are on the Bailey pattern.

Q: What is the blade steel type? 01, a2, other?

Their website says "The 0.125 inch thick and 2 inch wide tool steel iron is hardened and tempered to 55-60 Rockwell C. " I haven't had any issues but I'm not a heavy user.
