How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
We use several methods to measure wood. We use a digital ruler (a tool to measure distances), laser level (used for leveling your work surface), and bubble level (used for levelling your work surface).
Two jaws are available on a digital scaler. One can open and the other close. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. The digital caliper is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. The laser emits an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. 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 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. Bubble levels are great for checking the accuracy and precision of smaller areas.
