We use the spirit level in many practical fields such as in CNC machine, building, carpentry, masonry, etc to ascertain the levelness of a surface. Not only does it check for levelness, but plumb and 45-degree slope are also subjects to check with this tool. In this post, we are trying to explain the best … Read more
In physics, we frequently come across confusing terms, which may require further attention to understand for some people. Some of those terms are distance and displacement. Actually, these two terms are used to express length. But in physics, it’s too rough to say length. Therefore, the term “length” needs to be detailed. In our life, … Read more
Accuracy and precision are some of the most fundamental things in measurement system. These two terms represent how good a certain measuring/sensing instrument. It determines how appropriate a measuring instrument to a particular application. However, in some cases, it’s kind of confusing to differentiate them. Sometimes people say, it’s a high precision instrument. On the … 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
The degree of how an object is exactly like a square shape is squareness. It has a correlation with straightness, perpendicularity, parallelism, and 90-degree angle. And we express squareness in a tolerance value. One of the prevalent shapes used as a reference for geometric conformity of squareness is a square tool. However, there are many … Read more
Among the tools available to measure an angle, a protractor (or engineering protractor) is a simple mathematical and geometrical instrument used for drawing, measuring, and plotting angles. Protractor has a scale that is graduated in angular unit degree, on its outer most circular edge and has a vertex mark right at its center of its … Read more
Are you struggling to decide which one to buy among the protractor, inclinometer, and angle cube? Is it a little confusing in what situation they are excellent? In other words, in what application are each of them used to? What is actually a protractor? Why are many tools named protractors? Does it go the same … Read more
Recognizing the feeler gauge types can help you decide which feeler gauge is best for you. There are several models of feeler gauges that you should know. Picking the right one can solve your job easier. There are straight, tapered, dual graduation, offset, strip, brass, and go-no-go models. 1. Straight Feeler Gauge This is the … Read more
A spectrum analyzer and a network analyzer are both important pieces of testing equipment and instrument for an engineer. Although they sound similar, however, they pose some major differences. In this article, you will be having a close look at how each device works and what differentiates them from each other. What is a Spectrum … Read more
Square tools are easy to find in the workshop whether it is a machinist or woodworking workshop. It functions mainly to check the squareness, perpendicularity, and right angle (90-degree angles). Nowadays, squares are used for marking, scribing, framing, drawing, etc. That’s because the square helps scribe lines either perpendicular or parallel to the edge of … Read more
