Guest EMercier Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I've been using these for a little bit now. I just had to show you all. I took the plunge and bought these two from FCS. Can I just say I don't know what took me so long to buy these. I LOVE THEM. It's very easy to cut and mold. Worth the investment!Just wanted to add that I'd been using wooden slab molds I made as well as a straight cutter and it took too long! I'm in the process of getting my mom to make me some molds like this one so that I can do more at once. She does woodworking and has a router.

Guest EMercier Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I love that cutter so much I kept telling the same people over and over about it and I know they didn't care. I would take some time to cut, but I just pull my logs out of my mold (12lbs) and cut. When I first used the cutter, I just sat back and just thought, "Hmmm, I don't have anything else to do." It's so much easier! My bars still come out the same size as before (a little thicker), but I don't have to do so much leveling and use a straight edge. I just place it on the cutter and that's it! It does take a bit of time when I cut the Oatmeal, Refreshing, and Lavendar soap as it has dried herbs and oatmeal in them. GET THE MOLD! - I used some of my tax refund to get them both.

Kymber Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 How thick are the bars in this cutter? This cutter looks very nice....but most cutters cut at 1" and I like mine to be between 1 - 1 1/2" on my logs. That way you still have a nice size bar after it has cured.

Guest EMercier Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 I also use their lil shaver. Here are the specifications on the cutter:http://www.forcraftssake.mainsecure.net/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=7_9&products_id=24&zenid=bccf78b8773f830004a5a2c6afe82b09Here are the specifications on the mold:http://www.forcraftssake.mainsecure.net/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2_3&products_id=13&zenid=bccf78b8773f830004a5a2c6afe82b09 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterBaker2 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Aww man....This thread is going to get me killed. I'm seriously looking at the log splitter, the "tank" and the 12lb slab mold. Doh!*faint* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tychels Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 That cutter is awesome, I hope to get one soon! I think it cuts the bars at 1" but I'm pretty sure I read that you can have pay like $30 extra and they will make it custom to the thickness you desire..Sharon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately they also charge $15 per extra wire on the log splitter of which I want an extra three. So for the 3 pieces it's pretty close to $600 but really it seems worth it if they are as good as everyone says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EMercier Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 They do cut about 1" thick. I believe it's well worth the almost $300 investment I made. It does save you time and for me it saved energy. People love my soap, but I felt it wasn't worth it. Now I could make soap everyday.

Scented Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Hey is that a vertical mold? Four slotted? I have a double one. I love this cutter. Some people in the SB program were wonderful to spoil me with one. I love that I can actually cut straight now lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest EMercier Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Yes, it's a 12 LB vertical mold or four slotted as you put it. Man, does it ever cut straight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
