How To
How can 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. The one jaw holds the object to be measured, while the other measures distance between them. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels feature an infrared-light beam that projects lines across the floor. The laser emits a red dot along the line. It is possible to see if the surface of the surface are even by looking down at it. Laser levels are ideal for checking the accuracy on large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The center of the device contains a bubble. 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.
