The Kamal series of handplanes from India represents Anant's premium line of bench planes, spokeshaves and specialty planes. Like Anant's standard line, the Kamal tools afford exceptional value and quality but offer additional enhancements. Aesthetically the machining on all Kamal tools rivals that of the best manufacturers. These planes feature brass adjusting hardware, accurately ground surfaces and an improved baked enamel finish. A cut above the standard fair of entry-level planes, we think you'll be quite pleased with the Kamal planes.

The Kamal 078 Duplex Rabbet Plane is an outstanding copy of the Stanley 078, but with an improved round cross grain nicker. The single post fence has two rub points that contact the plane's sole to reduce rattle, a constant problem on the Stanley original. It has a lever adjustable blade (3/32" thick) in the rabbet position and is hammer set in the bullnose configuration. An adjustable depth stop allows for a maximum 1/2" depth of cut. The maximum width of cut is 1-1/2". 8-1/2" long.
