When we talk about laser measurement tools we mean both laser levels and laser distance meters. Both teams provide a number of functions that allow carpenters to perform their work effectively, accurately and in less time.
Are tools Thanks to their advanced technology and their laser beam, they provide various benefits in various work areas such as construction, masonry, decoration, architecture, interior design, and of course carpentry.
Laser distance meter
Also known as a distance meter, laser meter, laser meter, or laser rangefinder, this device calculates the distance between itself and a given point. It does this by sending out a pulse of laser light and measuring the time it takes for the laser to return.
Laser distance meter
The technology incorporated into these measuring tools provides highly accurate readings, even over long distances. Additionally, this equipment includes functions to add, subtract and calculate the volume and area of ​​a space, as well as another set of functions.
All of this brings considerable benefit to the woodworking professional, performing complex calculations in a short time, accurately and easily. Simply put, the laser distance meter is the perfect replacement for the traditional tape measure.
Laser level
The laser level is a tool that allows to establish horizontal, vertical or diagonal leveling through the projection of lines or points by means of lasers.
Laser level
The laser light emitted by the level is used to mark a straight line that is used as a guide in many work areas such as decoration, repairs or remodeling, wall installations, furniture installations, plasterboard installation, among many other tasks. .
In this post we will talk a little about three of the main applications of the measuring tools laser in the woodworking area.
Accurate estimation of materials to use
Thanks to the precision of the measurements emitted by a laser meter, the carpentry worker can calculate very precisely and quickly the amount of material to use for the work to be carried out.
For example, if the carpenter must manufacture and install a wooden piece of furniture in some space of the house; The meter will allow you to take all the corresponding measurements in an easy, practical and effective way, and you can even calculate the area and volume of the area where the furniture will be placed, to obtain an accurate estimate of the amount of wood to be used. This way you can also calculate how many screws, nails or fasteners and anchors to use.
Distance Meter
The same happens in the case of any other carpentry task that involves the manufacture of a piece of furniture, wall, partition, countertop or some decorative object.
Distance Meter – Countertop
By obtaining an exact calculation of the amount of material to be used, the carpenter can prepare a budget for the work, much faster and more accurate, benefiting both his work and that of his client.
Precise and exact cuts in carpentry
During the manufacture of any wooden object or furniture, the cuts must be executed impeccably so that the pieces can mesh perfectly when assembling what is being manufactured. Be it tables, cabinets, beds, drawer cabinets, countertops, chairs, bookcases or any other furniture, the carpenter must have a laser meter to accurately determine the cutting lines.
Distance Meter
With the use of a laser meter, the carpentry professional can work on the pieces of wood, measuring and marking the corresponding distances where the cuts must be made. Because EDMs calculate distances accurately, carpenters can be sure that they will make precise cuts, making furniture assembly much easier.
Accurate measurements avoid having to modify cut pieces to mesh with one another. This represents a considerable saving of time and work.
Exact furniture installation
For the correct, practical, efficient and effective installation of any piece of furniture, wall, partition or any other type of object, the use of the laser measurement tools it is very beneficial for a carpenter.
Installing a piece of furniture perfectly level is essential in all carpentry work. To achieve this, the laser level is used, with which the guide line that will determine the installation site can be drawn. This line will be perfectly level at the height that has been defined.
Laser Level – Furniture Installation
In the event that the installation must be done by drawing a diagonal line, as in the case of stair handrails or some decorative element, a self-leveling laser level can be used, which draw the line at the angle indicated by the user.
If it is the installation of a wall or a wooden partition, it is important to validate that the space in which the installation will be carried out is plumb. For this you can also have a laser level that includes the plumb line function. Likewise, the laser meter must be used to determine the distance between the sheets of wood.
Laser meter
Regarding the use of the distance meter, this is also of great help during the installation phase. With the help of the meter, the carpenter can install the furniture or objects centered on a wall or space, or locate them precisely in the selected place. With the distance meter, it is possible to determine exactly the height at which the furniture will be placed, and the space that must remain between one object and another after installation.
Both meters and laser levels constitute tools very useful for carpenters. They are devices that considerably facilitate carpentry work in many respects.
