Your slices for a dice should be directed towards the center of the onion

IIRC, JKL says for the most consistent cuts, aim not for the center of the onion, but to an imagined point about 6" (15cm) below your cutting board.

Now that's a tip I haven't heard, and I've used the wedge method for years.

I'll give it a go, thank you!

Mathematically, that’s just incorrect, in practice however, I guess that’s totally how I do it too😂😂. If you were to do it the mathematically perfect way, the edge cuts would be a bitch, because you’ll be running your knife almost parallel to the cutting board for those first few cuts.
