How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
We use several 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 has two jaws that open and close. 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 emit an infrared laser beam that projects a straight line across the floor. The laser emits an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. 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. The device will inform you if the surface is level if the bubble is in the center. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
