How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
There are many methods for measuring wood. We use a variety of methods to measure wood.
A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. The first jaw holds the object, and the second measures the distance between them. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels are equipped with an infrared light beam, which projects a line across a floor. A red dot is created by the laser. 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 center of the device contains a bubble. As long as the bubble remains centered, the device can tell you if the surface has been leveled. Bubble levels are great for checking the accuracy and precision of smaller areas.
