Tools

Slicing Plane	Yes, we know. It's a cheese cutter! But it's more than this. We have tried them all and this is the very best tool we have found for cutting thin strips of soap to make curls and other shapes. By varying the angle of the tool, you can change the thickness of the strips of soap.
Soap Knife	This monster really comes handy around the soap kitchen. The blade is stainless steel and measures 18" long. The distance between the grip handle and the handle on the point is 11". This knife is not intended to work in conjunction with the mitre box. It can be used to cut up large tubs or blocks of soap safely.
Cutting Board	This soap board is a professional grade cutting and crafting board. It is large enough to work on, resists knife cuts, and its white color will readily show the soap crafter that the surface is clean and free from dyes or pigments that might contaminate your new creation.
Soap Cutter	Our soap cutter has been designed to work with the mitre box. An ordinary kitchen knife is too wide on the top and will not fit into the slot. We have selected this type of cutter because the knife blade has the thickness and tensile strength to work well when cutting soap. Should another cutter be used with the mitre box, it needs to have the proper characteristics so that it will not bend from side to side or bow in the middle. This will result in misshapen cuts from the loaf. The cutter has also been sharpened properly for cutting soap. These cutters are received from the original manufacturer with a dull edge. Dull cutters will push the soap down in front of the knife rather than pushing it to the side when cutting the slice. The knife is rust resistant and the comfortable plastic handle will last for years.
Mitre Box Double Slot	Our mitre boxes are designed for cutting loaf soaps. They are made from 16 gauge, food grade, brushed finish, and stainless steel. We have two mitre boxes for you to choose from. Each mitre box is designed to meet specific needs. You know your needs better than anyone else and now you have the choice. The double slot mitre box will cut 1" and 2" thick slices.
Mitre Box Single Slot	The single slot cuts a 3/4" thick slice. The thinner cut is often selected by overseas soapers because it will yield more slices from the loaf.
18 Quart Melter	18 Quart Air Jacket Roaster/Soap Melter. This is a GREAT melter for those just getting started. It will safely melt 3 gallons of soap without allowing volatile ingredients in the soap to evaporate as long as the lid remains in place. This roaster has a variable thermostadt and whether or not 150 degrees F is shown on the dial, it can be quickly found. The air jacket is gentle to the soap and can be easily removed from the heating element for cleaning should you wish to change from white soap to clear. Better yet, have one for white and another for clear. This roaster will probably overload a 15 amp circuit if you have other things running on this line and will surely overload the breaker if you try to run more than one unit on each circuit. Having said this, it's a very inexpensive way to get started and allows you to make soap out of the kitchen.
