Meet Our Custom Soap Slab Cutters
Cut Your Soap Faster and Easier than Ever
Welcome to the next level of soapmaking! Our custom slab soap cutters are designed for artisans who value durability, and beauty in their craft. Handcrafted with care, our cutters are the perfect blend of functionality and aesthetics, ensuring you achieve flawless cuts every time.
Our manufacturing queue is full through early spring 2025. Rather than continue to accept orders with a long turnaround time, we are pausing ordering while we catch up and potentially expand operations. If you submit the order form below, we will give you the option to secure a place on our waitlist.
Durable & High-Quality
Each cutter is made from hardwood (oak) and high-density marine board by an experienced carpenter to create an heirloom-quality piece of equipment.
Roomy Soap Deck
The 16" x 19" soap deck has a 5" tall clearance for high soap tops and piping. Your cutter is custom-built to spec with your wire spacing and wire count.
Locking Wire Keys
Each cutting wire is held in place by a unique locking key mechanism to make restringing and replacing wires frustration-free, fast, and easy.
Built by a Soapmaker, For Soapmakers Like You
In 2023, Modern Soapmaking started manufacturing bulk cold-process soap again... but we ran into a big problem. There was no longer a slab cutter on the market that we loved.
So, we took everything we loved about our previous favorite cutter and added the features we wished it had: a larger soap deck for bigger slabs, more height clearance for taller soaps, a shorter fence to prevent denting the bottom of the slab, and locking wire keys to make wire changes easier.
And now this soap slab cutter is available to you: built to your needs!
Upgrading Your Soapmaking to Large Scale Production = Profit in Your Pocket
For years, we have talked about the importance of manufacturing efficiency when running a soap business. And a huge part of that is scaling up your soapmaking!
If you're currently using a single-string log splitter, upgrading to a multi-wire slab cutter can save you tons of money! In the first six months of using this cutter, we saved over $2,496 in labor costs solely by making the switch.
If you need help scaling your production, choosing the specs for your cutter, or scaling up your recipe to use the cutter, let us know when ordering. We have over a decade of education and consulting experience to help you make the switch.
