How To

How do you accurately measure wood?

We use several methods to measure wood. We use a variety of methods to measure wood.

A digital caliper can have two jaws, which open and close. The one jaw holds the object to be measured, while the other measures 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 red dots on 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. The device will inform you if the surface is level if the bubble is in the center. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
