Corner Cutting Help

[JeffDelucia]

this is very true

 

[Tim Major]

My F1 which I used at MSO cut a third of a piece xD
It was a great cube until I put silicone in it D:

Thank you for this.
Truth.

But it's so awesome

I need 90 degree corner cutting

inorite? Anything less than that is just useless.

 

[cincyaviation]

I would rather have a cube that can cut 45 degrees, during F2L i may not need that, but during an alg that i practice a lot, its usually to my benefit to have more corner cutting, the more you can cut corners, the faster you can get on to the next turn, usually the need for cutting corners has little to do with turning innacuracy.
(I wouldn't use 45 degrees, but the more it can cut, means the easier it can cut corners at lower degrees)

Does accurate turning translate into better times?

sure

 

[ottothedog]

my turning style requires a cube that corner cuts at a high degree (even if that sounds noobish)

 

[Weston]

If it cuts 45 degrees, when you do an R' and its off 45 degrees, you dont know whether its going to do R' or U R'
I would much rather lock up than do an incorrect turn.
EDIT: for cubes that can reverse corner cut

I'm making a video of my views on corner cutting. Will edit this post.

dont waste your time.

45°corner cutting is like big car speakers, you dont need it but its cool!

 

[Kirjava]

I have a storebought that can cut corners at 45degz.

 

[Systemdertoten]

I wanna find a cube that has 5* corner-cutting, but really smooth otherwise, and see how I'd do.

Try my storebought. Its corner-cutting is ~3*, but smooth as hell.

Cutting 45 degrees is like a small kitten. You don't need it but it's cool.

Also, the larger the max cutting angle is, the easier it is to cut at smaller angles (i.e. it will require less force when gliding over a misallignment). Testing the cutting angle really isn't to see how much it can cut, but just a reference to see the overall cutting ability.

(Seriously why don't people get )this.

you don't need a small kitten D:

I'm going to bump this for the greater good.

I prefer to use "x-pieces" unit for the corner-cutting angles, because it is much easier (to me) to determine and makes more sense for this purpose; it's also pretty similar to the SQ-1 notations.

In case of reverse corner-cutting, you could put a "-" sign in front of the misallignment value, and a "+" sign for normal corner-cutting.
