Square is a great idea. Even better than a level. Thanks for all the info, and discussion. In the end, I wonder how we can use all this to better determine our sweet spots.
What do most people do now? Sharpie? Or does anyone use the drawn arcs on cardboard technique I saw? Any others I should be aware of as a newb?

So, practically, you’re looking to ensure the angle reading is correct, and the dual axis will do that for you? Would a level work, if you held it against the angle cube’s rear? Or is there more to the dual axis thing? Thanks!

Interesting info. Thank you for the clarification.
So I guess my next question is, once you plot, or know how much the angle is changing on that radius, then what? There’s nothing at all we can do about it with our WE’s, right? Is there a way to use the data to determine the sweet spot for a particular knife? I’m guessing the sweet spot would be…[Read more]

Is this a technical way of the “finding the sweet spot” thing? Even after watching the vid, I don’t think I get it. Maybe someone could explain the x and y axes, as they relate to WE. I’m assuming x is front to back. Are we saying the y is the vertical axis? If so, then the higher up the rod we go, the angle changes there?

Hey Readheads, off-topic, but what angle do you use on your Kramer there? I am looking to get one, but I keep seeing differing info on the angle from the factory. Thanks!
