How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
We use many 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).
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 is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of 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 best for checking the accuracy of large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. Bubble levels can be used for checking the accuracy in smaller areas.
