How To
How can you accurately measure wood?
Wood measurement can be done using several methods. We use a digital ruler (a tool to measure distances), laser level (used for leveling your work surface), and bubble level (used for levelling your work surface).
A digital caliper comes with two jaws. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. The laser emits an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. It is possible to see if the surface of the surface are even by looking down at it. For larger surfaces, laser leveling is the best method of checking accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device's center bubble is visible. As long as the bubble is centered, the device will tell you whether the surface is level or not. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
