Anant Bench Planes

Finding a well made, affordable bench plane is becoming more and more difficult.  The premium planes currently on the market are truly spectacular tools, at spectacular prices.  If your budget does not include $300 to $500 for one plane we invite you to consider these well made planes from Anant.  We have been pleasantly surprised by the quality of materials and workmanship found in these solid tools. The heavy castings are accurately and neatly machined. The hardwood handles are functional and comfortable to hold.  After a basic tune-up our test plane yielded outstanding results producing smooth, crisp surfaces with curly, thin shavings.  Made in India
