My Wixey Digital Angle Gauge and my iGaging Angle Cube are seldom right on. I can zero either of them and to a certain extent move them around and get similar readings but never right on.

The Angle Cube seems to be more reliable but I bought the Wixey first and got used to using it and it seems to be my go to device. The Angle Cube and the Wixey, when user side by side are definitely not of equal quality.[/quote]

Dusty, I've noticed the same thing on my Angle Cube, and have to keep reminding myself that tho it is "digital" it is NOT strictly "electronic". And that brings in inertia, momentum, that kinda stuff.

I have both of these also and seem to have the same results. Seldom do they agree exactly but they're close.

I guess the question becomes which one to use when the need is to be spot on.

A secondary question would be just how much difference does .1 of a degree make when you need to be spot on..
