How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
We use many methods to measure wood. A digital caliper is a tool that measures distances. We also use a laser level to ensure your work surface flattens.
A digital caliper comes with two jaws. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. The digital scale is perfect for measuring tiny distances such as wood thickness.
Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. The laser emits an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. For larger surfaces, laser leveling is the best method of checking accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The center of the device contains a bubble. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
