How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
We use several 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 can have two jaws, which open and close. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. The digital caliper can be used to measure small distances such as the thickness of wood.
Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. A red dot is created by the laser. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. As long as the bubble remains centered, the device can tell you if the surface has been leveled. Bubble levels can be used for checking the accuracy in smaller areas.
