Laser Levels

I read allot of articles which give you various numbers of projects where a contractor can use their laser-levels. I find it hard to limit my usage to such numbers. Any time I need a straight line I can use my laser-level. But this is not so for everyone. It good for setting plumbing, for cutting grade, for hanging door or windows. It makes tile work look crisp and clean, but I would not limit its use to these projects.

There are three types of laser-levels.

The line level shines a single bright crisp line horizontal or vertical, and it is ideal for projects which require a long level line:

• Hanging pictures
• Mounting cabinetry
• Laying tile

These are simpler levels and are more limited in the distance es in which they can accurately used. Usually within 100- 200 feet.

The Cross-Line Laser Level
This laser level shines two line; one horizontal and the other is vertical and the intersection forms four right angles. These levels are also used for many indoor projects:

• Hanging shelving
• Installing doors and windows
• Installing cabinetry and tiling.

The cross-Line Laser Level is usually more affordable the 360-degree rotary level.

The Rotary Laser Level

It is more expensive but it also is more versatile than the Line and Cross-Line Laser Levels, but they are far more versatile. They cast a beam horizontal and vertical bean around the room or outside space because they shine their line much further. Some can be used for up to 2,000 feet. They are easier to read because of their light’s intensity, and are more accurate than the other types of level:

They are used for:

• Leveling concrete
• Digging foundations
• Masonry work
• Suspended ceilings

Lasers also come with red or green lights. The red-light lasers are usually cheaper.

The red-light laser isn’t as visible as the green light lasers but they tend to reduces the power supply sooner. The laser level is a very useful tool and is a must for a craftsman’s tool box.
