How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
We have several ways to measure wood. A digital caliper is a tool that measures distances. We also use a laser level to ensure your work surface flattens.
Two jaws can be opened and closed on a digital caliper. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses 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 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.
