How To
How do I accurately measure wood?
There are many methods for measuring wood. We use a variety of methods to measure wood.
A digital caliper has two jaws that open and close. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.
Laser levels emit an infrared laser beam that projects a straight line 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. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The center of the device contains a bubble. As long as the bubble is centered, the device will tell you whether the surface is level or not. Bubble levels are great for checking the accuracy and precision of smaller areas.
