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 can have two jaws, which open and close. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. The digital caliper is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of 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. The line can be viewed down to determine if the surface has an even surface. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device's center bubble is visible. 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.
