Router Bits for Soap Beveling? (video)

[hungryhawaiian]

Dean posted about a rounded edge beveler and it got me thinking.... In addition to soap making, I’m also a woodworker. I’ve beveled wood edges with my router so why wouldn’t that work on soap?

Well as it turns out, it did work!

I used my drill press, attached a router bit, adjusted the higher of the platform and attached an hdpe sheet to it for easy sliding.

When I do more, I’m going to attached a partition to catch all the shavings so I can put it to use elsewhere.

a veggie peeler is way easier, simpler and less messy. Plus no electricity.
Plus you can do it while watching a movie or something

Try again. I had issues with some really bad comments on imgur so I was trying to block comments there. I may have blocked it on accident, but I made it public again.

The video in Dawni's link works for me. The video in the OP did not work for me yesterday, but it does today. It was probably what HH said, tweaking the settings.

I’m pretty sure you can upload things to imgur and not submit them to the gallery.

I can, but for some reason it blocked people from seeing it when I did. I’ll play with it tonight and figure it out.

I can use these tools just as easily and get the nice *rounded* edges I prefer.
