Editorial Reviews:

With the disappearance of Record, this line of planes arrives at a very opportune time, as woodworkers have been left without any moderately priced choice between the construction of contemporary Stanley planes and the price of premium tools like Cliftons or Lie-Nielsens. Anant planes offer excellent value for the money. Machining quality is good; soles and side rails are respectably flat and perpendicular, and can be polished completely smooth in short order. Frog surfaces are milled well. Lever caps are fitted with levers, another welcome improvement over the screw design. More importantly, Anants throat openings are discreet and properly milled. They average just under .200 wide; with the frog set correctly, the opening forward of the blade is only about 3/64. The rear edge of the throat opening has been milled, exactly as it should be, at a 45° slope. With the frog set flush with this beveled surface, youll note that the irons ultimate point of support is actually the sole casting, stabilizing the iron right up to the heel of the bevel, a good 3/32 closer to the action than the lowest point on the frog. Overall, were impressed with the quality of Anant planes, and were pleased to recommend this new line of economically priced, fully functional tools.
