How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
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. 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. You can check if the surface is level by looking down at the line. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. The device will inform you if the surface is level if the bubble is in the center. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
