How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
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).
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 are equipped with an infrared light beam, which projects a line across a floor. The laser emits an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. If you look down on the line, it will show whether the surface appears even or not. Laser levels are ideal for checking the accuracy on large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble at the center of this device. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. For checking the accuracy of small areas, bubble levels are useful.
