For Precise sharpening work,this is ESSENTIAL GEAR. I use this with the Gizmo,the Edge Pro,freehand and with my belt grinders. If you want to take your sharpening work up to another level,this is what you need. Using an angle cube gets me accuracy below a tenth of a degree (1/20 degree) Also useful for checking accuracy of saw blade alignment and general shop use. Works as a very accurate level too. If you don’t measure accurately,your work is coming out less perfect than it could be. Solid rugged construction using standard batteries. The zero function lets you measure angles relative to another angle,like the tare function on a scale. Attach it to a knife to see how consistently you can hold a knife at an angle freehand! Makes you a better sharpener and keeps you honest. I use mine constantly.

I purchased the Angle Cube after seeing it demonstrated on a forum. Since I have a growing interest in precision sharpening (much to the dismay of my wife),and since I work in a field that provides me the opportunity to use precision measuring equipment,I decided to test the Angle Cube’s ability to measure… yep,angles.

An angle block set,master level,granite surface plate,and precision 360° tilt table were used to test for angle deviation from (0 to 45)° in 5° intervals in CW/CCW directions using angle blocks and the surface plate,and from (10 to 20)° in 1° intervals in CW/CCW directions using the tilt table.

The results are:

LEVEL Mode

No measurement exceeded 0.1° deviation from the reference angle.

No repeat measurement exceeded a 0.10° change.

The Angle Cube frame was square. The sensor was square to the frame. On the surface plate,with each side of the Cube resting on the plate in-turn,each 90° rotation resulted in a display change of 90° through a 360° rotation. The Cube read 0.00° when inverted.

The display flipped when the angle exceeded ±90° from 0 or 180 to give a right-side-up view,as advertised.

ZERO (BEVEL) Mode

The Zero mode worked well. No bevel exceeded 0.1° from the true bevel.

Conclusion: My Angle Cube meets the manufacturer’s specification. It is likely that the majority of all Angle Cubes will meet the manufacturer’s specification. The less technical but perhaps more important conclusion is that I can trust the measurement the Angle Cube makes,whether making sure a shelf is level to knowing the angle of the bevel on a knife edge to adjusting the angle of a table saw blade.

Indispensable and humbling.

This is a terrific tool and a major time saver. Very accurate as compared and tared to a bubble level. When I first bought this before CKtG sold it I considered it a luxury that I’d use only occasionally,but I must admit that I’ve come to use it on most knives to get me in the neighborhood and to "keep me honest."



Good price,too. Another winner for CKtG!

Very ingenious device. Probably works best with a rod sharpening system like the Apex,but it’s handy for guaging the angle for hand sharpening with waterstones.

I bought this to use mainly for my Edgepro. Works great.

It’s heavy and it’s accurate. As the cube’s original intention was for table saws,it is sometimes a little clumsy to use due to its size. Overall,this has not been a very big issue for me. Great tool,and I plan to use it for more than sharpening.
