How To
How can you measure wood accurately?
We use several methods to measure 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).
A digital caliper comes with two jaws. The first jaw holds the object, and the second measures the distance between them. The digital caliper can be used to measure small distances such as the thickness of wood.
Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. The laser emits an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. By looking down the line, you can see whether the surface is even or not. For larger surfaces, laser leveling is the best method of checking accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device has a bubble at its center. 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.
