How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
We have several ways to measure wood. A digital caliper is a tool that measures distances. We also use a laser level to ensure your work surface flattens.
Two jaws can be opened and closed on a digital caliper. The first jaw holds the object, and the second measures the distance between them. The digital scale is perfect for measuring tiny distances such as wood thickness.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. A red dot is created by the laser. You can check if the surface is level by looking down at the line. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. The device will inform you if the surface is level if the bubble is in the center. Bubble levels can be used for checking the accuracy in smaller areas.
