How do I know my laser level is accurate?
Because you want your
laser level to be precise, it’s important to check its calibration and accuracy to avoid surprises. If it’s possible, you should mount your laser level to a tripod and place it at the center of the work area. If the device goes past the maximum deviation allowed by the manufacturer, you will either have to perform a calibration procedure or take it to a local tool supplier of your brand so they can do the calibration for you.
What kind of accessories can I use with a laser level?
You can find a variety of accessories you can use with a laser level, but here are some of the most common:
- Laser Level Detector— Also called a “laser receiver,” this tool makes it possible to pick up a laser beam when the lighting conditions make it hard to see it with the naked eye.
- Laser Level Tripod— This three-legged stand can set up your laser level in a way that will allow you to shoot the beam from a specific height.
- Grade Rod— Also called a “leveling rod,” this tool will allow you to measure differences in elevation. While it can be used by architects, engineers, and contractors, one of the most common applications is for finding laser beams if you’re using a Spectra laser level to measure elevations.
- Laser Safety Glasses— To protect your eyes from the harmful effects of a laser beam, the lenses of these special glasses can reduce the transmission of most of the light being transmitted to a different wavelength.
Whether you’re looking for a Spectra Precision laser level or some accessories to go with, be sure to browse through the broad selection we have at Engineer Supply.
Can I use a laser level to determine grade?
You can measure grade with a laser level by performing the following steps:
- Set up the laser level onto a tripod.
- Turn on the laser level.
- Determine the initial height where you want to start the grade.
- Use a laser detector to find the beam.
- Adjust the laser detector by moving it up and down until you hear a constant beeping sound.
- Set the grade rod at a different location throughout the construction site.
- Use a stick to mark the bottom of the grade.
Proper grading is important to the foundation of a construction project, so accuracy is the biggest concern while performing these tasks.
How often should I calibrate my Spectra Precision laser level?
If you want your Spectra Precision laser leveling tools to be as accurate as possible, you will need to have it calibrated on a regular basis. All laser and optical levels should have their calibration checked every six months, and you shouldn’t start any major work until you have checked the unit.
