How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
There are many methods for measuring wood. We use a variety of methods to measure wood.
A digital caliper comes with two jaws. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels are equipped with an infrared light beam, which projects a line across a floor. The laser emits red dots on the line. By looking down the line, you can see whether the surface is even or not. Laser levels are ideal for checking the accuracy on large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device has a bubble at its center. As long as the bubble remains centered, the device can tell you if the surface has been leveled. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
