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 caliper can be used to measure small distances such as the thickness of wood.
Laser levels feature an infrared-light beam that projects lines across the floor. The laser emits an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. The line can be viewed down to determine if the surface has an even surface. Laser levels are best for checking the accuracy of large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. As long as the bubble is centered, the device will tell you whether the surface is level or not. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
