How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
Wood measurement can be done using several methods. A digital caliper is a tool that measures distances. We also use a laser level to ensure your work surface flattens.
A digital caliper can have two jaws, which open and close. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. A red dot is created by the laser. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. 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. 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.
