How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
Wood measurement can be done using several methods. We use a digital scale (a tool for measuring distances), a laser-level (used to level your work surface), as well as a bubble level (used in order to level your work surface).
A digital caliper comes with two jaws. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. The laser emits a red dot on the line. By looking down the line, you can see whether the surface is 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 the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
