How To

How do I accurately measure wood?

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

A digital caliper comes with two jaws. One jaw holds a measured object and the other measures distances between the points. The digital calculator is ideal for measuring very small distances, like the thicknesses or wood.

Laser levels use an infrared beam of light to project a line across the ground. The laser emits red dots on the line. The line can be viewed down to determine if the surface has an even surface. For large surfaces, laser levels are the best way to check their accuracy.

Bubble levels look similar to a compass. There is a bubble in the center of the device. As long as the bubble is centered, the device will tell you whether the surface is level or not. The bubble levels can be used to check the accuracy of smaller areas.
