How To
How can you accurately measure wood?
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. 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. By looking down the line, you can see whether the surface is even or not. Laser levels are best for checking the accuracy of large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device has a bubble at its center. As long as the bubble remains centered, the device can tell you if the surface has been leveled. For checking the accuracy of small areas, bubble levels are useful.
