How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
There are many methods for measuring 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).
Two jaws can be opened and closed on a digital caliper. The first jaw holds the object, and the second measures the distance between them. 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 on the line. 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. 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. For checking the accuracy of small areas, bubble levels are useful.
