How To
How can 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 first jaw holds the object, and the second measures the distance between them. Digital calipers are great for measuring small distances, such as thicknesses of wood.
Laser levels have an infrared light beam that projects a line across the floor. The laser emits a red dot on the line. You can check if the surface is level by looking down at the line. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.
Bubble levels look similar to a compass. The device's center bubble is visible. The device will indicate whether the surface is level as long as it is centered. Bubble levels are great for checking the accuracy and precision of smaller areas.
