How To
How can you 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 has two jaws that open and close. One jaw holds the measured object while the other measures the distance between the two points. The digital caliper is great for measuring small distances like thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. The laser emits a red dot on the line. You can check if the surface is level by looking down at the line. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. The device will inform you if the surface is level if the bubble is in the center. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
