Hi folks.
In a previous thread, it was suggested to me to get an Angle Cube for when I use my Lanksy system to sort out what angle I am at.
I am in Canada but have looked at Amazon.ca to see what was there. There are a lot and prices ranging from $20 to over $50.
I am not sure which one would do the trick for me and at what cost range. Now I know that the better ones cost more but again are the $20 not able to do a good job?
Any suggestions that could be sent my way would be appreciated.
Thanks again
Regards

There are a bunch of free level apps available for most phones. I probably have 9-10 on my phone. They actually work pretty well. Just have to make sure you hold the phone the same way each time. And avoid aligning it on protruding buttons.
 
Thanks again folks for the info and the help.
Thank you Rupert for the one at Lee Valley. I can get that one fairly easy and then also if it does screw up then it is only a hour and half back to the store. Have you got that one Rupert?
I will also check out the Wixey Angle gauge.

Hi. I did look up that one at Lee Valley and it is not up here in Canada. If you notice on the link to Lee Valley that you gave me Rupert is US. There is one in Ottawa, Ontario, which I logged onto but could not find that Angle Cube that you sent me the link too. I will phone them on Monday to check but I could not find it on the Canadian site. Are you in Canada Rupert?
Now I did find another one on Amazon.ca which is made by Capri Tools out of California. The price is OK and wondered if anyone had tried this one or knew anything about it.
Thanks again.

It is a good thing that I am still learning about the computers. I could not find what you had told me about so I talked to my IT guy and he found it at the Lee Valley in Ottawa. Now I will phone them to see if they have one in stock.
Does any know anything about the Capri Angle Cube? I can also get that one from Amazon.ca.
Thanks again Rupert for your help.

I use one from Harbor Freight. Works great! I test it every so often against known angles. And it's always been spot on.

I believe any of them pretty much work well as long as it's zeroed correctly.
 
I use Wixey WR300 type 2. It was about $30 in Japan and works fine. I zeroed once and get constant values without re-calibration.

Miso
