Four Stanley specialty planes include a No. 78 Duplex Rabbet and Fillister Plane, a No. 45 Combination Plane, a No. 71 Router Plane, and a No. 79 Side Rabbet Plane. The No. 78 has two cutter seats for regular and bullnose work. The No. 45 carries a wooden rear handle, front knob, sliding guide rods, and a wood-faced fence; changing its cutters allows the combination-plane design to perform different grooving, rabbeting, and beading operations. The No. 71 levels the bottoms of recesses, with two wooden knobs flanking its central adjustable cutter. The compact No. 79 trims the sides of grooves and dados using opposing cutters, with a reversible nosepiece for working toward a corner. The cast-iron planes are offered with the adjustment hardware and cutters shown. The largest measures approximately 10" x 8.5" x 6.25" tall.
