TSPROF axicube - Thoughts on this new angle cube? Worth it over Hapstone?

777 Edge,
thanks for the tip.
Regarding my question in my previous post... would I see improvements on my edges if I go for Axucube? What would I gain if I spend and buy Axicube?

The only minus point I see is when I calibrate Axicube I need to have my sharpener exactly on this place. If my table is tilted and I by accident move the sharpener the Axicube will show false angle. I usually sharpen on my kitchen table so each time I will put my sharpener on the table I need to go through this calibrating procedure. If I move my sharpener upstairs I need to calibrate it again. Sounds complicated.
Would it be simpler if I just use my ordinary angle cube?

No, I wouldn't necessarily say an Axicube will improve someone's edges unless they use their angle cube incorrectly. You can get just as good a result with a normal angle cube - as long as you know its limits.

Some guys mess up their edges by not understanding, and using a basic digital angle cube incorrectly.

Regarding Axicube, there are two different Axicube models. With an Axicube-i, you are correct. Its accuracy is dependent on keeping your sharpening system in the same spot as where you calibrated it.

Axicube-One is different. An Axicube-one can be used on various systems and in any position because it is basically an intelligent 3 axis digital angle cube.
