soapequipment.com Cutting cold processed soaps made in the Soap Equipment pro molds using their manual cutter and work bench! These tools are made in the USA and are original designs by Soap Equipment for 25 years! If you need professional equipment, they are the pros in the soapmaking industry!
This was my first trial and I may have done too much of a water discount, resulting in a soap a bit harder to cut. Next batch, I won’t so we can compare! This new equipment works differently from my present wooden mold and it is a learning curve for sure. I will keep you updated once I get my soap formula perfect for these molds.
To purchase the Manual Cutter and the Work Bench, follow this link soapequipment.com/mcutter/ Remember that Soap Equipment can also custom make the cutters for you with your specific dimensions.

Oh wow these seem super nice- but also pretty hard to use with that recipe, and it does limit your design choices as well

@ArianeArsenault 5 лет назад

TheDragonGirl actually, you can do a lot of designs! I just went for something easy to start with. My formula was also water discounted which I won’t do next time as it make cutting the soap more difficult

@TheDragonGirl 5 лет назад

@@ArianeArsenault I like doing top decorations and hanger swirls! Itp and layers seem like they'd be pretty easy but not that XD, thats a good idea on the water discount.

@deenflower8454 5 лет назад

@@ArianeArsenault yes it is too hard to cut soaps when it is water discounted. I could actually feel ur efforts as myself get tired with such a small batch itself. But a great applause for u. This can keep u evergreen maco women with good muscles and fit body lol

@iwannaapple7190 4 года назад

@@ArianeArsenault I don't know exactly what you call a water discount. I think AFTER 50/50 everything is adding water and there are differences of opinion about that but that is not my point and I actually think the opposite as to why it is sticking on you. Mind you I haven't made nearly as much as you I have studied what I do thoroughly and I have found that stickiness comes from different sources that come to play to create stickiness. Firstly and foremost it is from an emulsion that is not quite blended so you have slightly loose water that is left behind when drying. That would translate to soap sticking to the sides. At the same time, in combination with that, a choice of oils: Different oils create different heat. If you don't want to create as high of a heat to make it crack choose a different oil or different percentage of oil OR add more water but then you run the risk of soap sticking to the sides and making it more difficult to take the mold apart. This is my guess; I actually think that with that large amount you just thought you stick blended enough. Soap acts just like concrete. When its not mixed enough you get loose water and salt at the top. With me, I have noticed that it is more my choice of oils then my choice of water as to when I get stickiness. I also get it when I notice I didn't quite stick blend enough. Soap is still good and still the same. It is just that the less dense water is pushed to the outside and that creates stickiness instead of smooth soap.

@iwannaapple7190 4 года назад

@@ArianeArsenault One more suggestion: I imagine those wires are very similar to wires I would use. You may not see or feel the difference and may even think they are smooth but 50lb fishing test line will go clean through that soap much smoother and easier and will not break. I've used 30 lb fishing line on my soap before and it's like cutting butter and my soap is not soft when I cut it. Sometimes steel leaves behind small bumps because it is slightly rough and causes friction and that is one reason that could be making it difficult for you.

@kajuladavio 5 лет назад

Great review, but I am not going to lie, I was very nervous for you while you where leaning over those guide rods for the cutter. Looking forward to perhaps an update with the new formula you have mentioned, no water discount, to see how much easier that works out. Maybe suggest to the company a safety cap for the tops of the guide rods. I know they are blunt ends but accidents can happen and I could see someone slipping possibly and falling on top of them when up on a stool like you where.

@ArianeArsenault 5 лет назад

Ka Jula Davio I never felt in danger while making and cutting this soap. I am excited to keep using these molds and cutter and get my formula perfect for the cutter to cut easier

@@ArianeArsenault It is much easier and safer to have another person help you. We have been using this set up for about two or three years. It is much simpler with a second person. We have had a few very close calls with the guard rods. Also, make sure you do not rock the cutter when trying to break through the top, it will cause the bearings to break loose from the little round piece that guard rods go through. They are in the black ring on the blue piece.

This soap was really hard work, but it looks great! Thanks for using and talking about sustainable sources for palm oil. When I tried making my first soap (a week ago :D) it was so hard to find palm oil free recipes as it's what I wanted to avoid the most. Using eco friendly palm oil is a sollution to that problem.

@StanWatt. 4 года назад

@cheekysaver 5 лет назад

The hydraulic press to go with the cutter would be more ideal. I know it takes up real estate in your work space..... but having to apply that much pressure at elevated heights leaves room for staff including you to slip and fall. One workman's compensation claim can drive up your rates and you will end up paying more than the cost of the hydraulic press. Please be very careful when using that cutter.

@bebita58 5 лет назад

Cheeky Saver agree!

@deenflower8454 5 лет назад

Yeah i second that. It's hard for ur back and could could case issues if u r making such a big batch very often.

@ldlewis 4 года назад

Agree. Also those posts are really dangerous, because when pushing down it has them right at about chin level! One slip could be detrimental. We have been using this cutter for a long time. We always have two people for safety.

It’s great that you cut the soaps before they got any harder! You were really struggling to get through it. Over the last 4 years, I would imagine you have ironed out the kinks of getting through that much soap or maybe resort to having a helper when needed. I can only dream of getting my production up to that point to justify buying one of these block cutters. Great video!

@thelasthomelyhouse 5 лет назад

crikey Ariane! that looked like a lot of hard work! you mentioned previously about your bad back - I can't think how this is going to help it! I think the Soap Gal has some sort of mechanised cutter? is that an option for you? take care of your health! xxx

The Last Homely House East of the Sea yes Joanna uses similar molds but she has the air cutter. I did make my soap with a water discount (because this is what I always do in slab molds) but I shouldn’t have. Next trial I will adjust and will also have my insulating boxes ready and it should cut just like butter!

Seems like the big block cutter could be improved by them making the bottom plate thicker with deeper slots so you can push down farther so the wires cut through the middle easier.
