How To
How do you measure wood accurately?
Wood measurement can be done using several methods. 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 scale is perfect for measuring tiny distances such as wood thickness.
Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. A red dot is created by the laser. It is possible to see if the surface of the surface are even by looking down at it. Laser levels are ideal for checking the accuracy on large surfaces.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The center of the device contains a bubble. As long the bubble is not in the middle, the device will show you whether the surface of the object is level. Bubble levels are good for checking the accuracy of smaller areas.
