How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
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 one jaw holds the object to be measured, while the other measures distance between them. The digital caliper can be used to measure small distances such as the thickness of wood.
Laser levels are equipped with an infrared light beam, which projects a line across a 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. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device's center bubble is visible. As long as the bubble is centered, the device will tell you whether the surface is level or not. For checking the accuracy of small areas, bubble levels are useful.
