How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
We have several ways to measure wood. We use a digital caliper (a tool used to measure distances), a laser level (used to make sure your work surface is flat), and a bubble level (used to make sure your work surface is perpendicular).
Two jaws can be opened and closed on a digital caliper. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels emit an infrared laser beam that projects a straight line across the floor. A red dot is created by the laser. You can check if the surface is level by looking down at the line. Laser levels are best for checking the accuracy of large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device's center bubble is visible. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. For checking the accuracy of small areas, bubble levels are useful.
