How To
How do I 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.
Two jaws can be opened and closed on a digital caliper. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels emit an infrared laser beam that projects a straight line across the floor. A red dot is created by the laser. It is possible to see if the surface of the surface are even by looking down at it. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device has a bubble at its center. 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.
