What do you think of this setup tool? Scroll to the bottom of

I have an iGaging angle cube and it works great. Of course, any
smart phone will do that trick now. It's a shame they don't have
the digital display on their aluminum model.

You have to be careful quality control of the iGaging stuff. When I
got my cube, it wasn't flat on a couple sides-- it was bowed.Â* I took
it apart and fixed it by bending the case back in.Â* Not
something I should have to do out of the box, but it works
perfectly.

All that to say you just have to make sure it's all up to snuff
during the return-for-refund time.Â*Â* With those cheap prices come
greater potential for quality control issues.



The electronic tilt box/cube/what ever brand. Be careful if your
equipment is on mobile equipment.Â* I found that if I lean on my TS
the reading on the box changes.


Yes, you find that out in a hurry.
Great tool and I use/trust it when I need a DNO angle on the blade.

Since I brought up the phone app, I think I'll do a side-by-side
comparison and see if either is more accurate than the other.


I keep my phone in a Defender and in the past an Otterbox case. Neither
work well with a tilt setup because of inconsistencies.
