How To

How can you accurately measure wood?

We have several ways to measure wood. We use a digital scale (a tool for measuring distances), a laser-level (used to level your work surface), as well as a bubble level (used in order to level your work surface).

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. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses of wood.

Laser levels emit an infrared laser beam that projects a straight line across the floor. The laser emits an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. 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 is centered, the device will tell you whether the surface is level or not. For checking the accuracy of small areas, bubble levels are useful.
