How To
How can you 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 comes with two jaws. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. The digital caliper is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels feature an infrared-light beam that projects lines across the floor. The laser emits a red dot on the line. The line can be viewed down to determine if the surface has an even surface. For larger surfaces, laser leveling is the best method of checking accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device has a bubble at its center. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. For checking the accuracy of small areas, bubble levels are useful.
