How To

How do I accurately measure wood?

We have several ways 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 can have two jaws, which open and close. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. The digital caliper can be used to measure small distances such as the thickness of wood.

Laser levels feature an infrared-light beam that projects lines across the floor. The laser emits a red dot on the line. It is possible to see if the surface of the surface are even by looking down at it. Laser levels are ideal for checking the accuracy on large surfaces.

Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
