How To
How do you accurately measure wood?
There are many methods for measuring wood. We use a variety of methods to measure wood.
A digital caliper comes with two jaws. One jaw holds the object being measured and the other measures the distance between them. The digital caliper can be used to measure small distances such as the thickness of wood.
Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. The laser emits a red dot on the line. It is possible to see if the surface of the surface are even by looking down at it. Large surfaces can be checked for accuracy with laser levels.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. As long as the bubble remains centered, the device can tell you if the surface has been leveled. Bubble levels can be used for checking the accuracy in smaller areas.
