Have you been using measuring wheels, rolling plan measures, and tape measures for your outdoor field projects and are not satisfied with the results? Well, these devices have a lot of limitations. They can only measure distances within a very limited range, and the results are also not very precise. That is where the laser … Read more
We use a paint thickness gauge to measure the vehicle’s surface paint. Touch the probe to the car panel surface, and it will take the reading. It’s not only the main object to measure with this paint meter, it also measures other coatings such as the pipe coating, etc. The base of the paint/coating may … Read more
When it comes to ruler calibration, we are talking about the accuracy of its graduation. Ruler is a linear measuring hand tool we use in broad areas such as school, office, workshop, manufacturing, etc. It’s not only for measuring length but also for marking and scribing lines. Depending on the purpose of using the ruler, … Read more
When buying a tape measure, it’s important to consider what class of tape measure is suitable for your project. The difference in class among various tape measures accounts for the difference in their respective accuracy. To be clear, this classification of each tape measure primarily depends on their ability to follow the standards of accuracy … Read more
Like many other squares, engineer square and combination square can help you establish the right angle, squareness, and perpendicularity. But, they are comparable to doing a certain job. The core difference between engineer square and combination square is accuracy. The engineer square or machinist square is the most precise square among the square models available. … Read more
As a precision tool, you need to pay attention to the guidelines on how to use the caliper properly, be it the vernier, dial, or digital models. This is not only giving you a long-lasting tool (that saves money) but also increases the confidence that your measurement is reliable. Taking care of the calipers doesn’t … Read more
The other square models that are interesting to learn how they are comparable are the framing square and speed square. These two models are significantly different in several points such as shape, applications, how we use them, features, and the ability to check outside right angle. Meanwhile, they have several similarities such as material, ability … Read more
There are multiple reasons for errors that may happen while using a caliper be it the vernier, dial, and digital model. The sources of error may be generated by the faults in the instrument, human error in the method of calculation, environmental factors, etc. These errors, further, can affect negatively the measurement results; though some … Read more
Different types of tools are used to mark lines and measure the dimensions in wood and metalworking. The square tool is one of the common, durable, straightforward, and easy-to-use tools for those purposes. Basically, all square tools have two sides of their body perpendicular and it functions to check the right angles. However, the square … Read more
In woodworking, to measure the dimensions of different parts which are to be crafted or joined together, different tools are used. To check of the two meeting surfaces whether they are perpendicular to each other, squares are used. These square tools commonly consist of two blades that are fixed perpendicular to each other. The angle … Read more
