Soap cutting

Ok. So here’s what I found with this soap. It was available and a convenient thickness. [image] Start with cutting at 1/4” depth: It hit the 1/4” mark with 100 pews and 100 zooms. Less than that didn’t seem to do the job, but it would have been better to have a soap that was only 1/4”. I also tried scoring and engraving at various pews and zooms. What I found is that a light touch marks the soap nicely, especially with scoring. Engraving doesn’t give desired depth detail. I scored the swirl…

Thanks - I saw that too - was hoping there would be something else more recent or more info. Thanks again!

or more info.

Making a compression mold for soap I would think would be better than trying to laser the soap.
