How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
We use several methods to measure wood. A digital caliper is a tool that measures distances. We also use a laser level to ensure your work surface flattens.
A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. 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 along the line. 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 center of the device contains a bubble. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
