A manual level can do the job, but for large construction projects; it’s simply not efficient enough. This is where rotating laser levels become the users’ best friend.
So, take it out of the box, and let’s get started!
Your laser is calibrated correctly if the difference is less than or equal to your level’s specified accuracy
Congratulations, your unit is now correctly calibrated. Time to get to work!
Set up your laser level. This type of level is best used on an elevated flat surface. A tripod is the best choice but sawhorses, buckets, and step ladders will also suffice.
A rotating laser (also known as a rotary laser level) is an advanced laser level that spins a beam of lightning-fast enough to give the optical illusion of a solid 360-degree plane. These planes can be horizontal, or vertical. Illuminating not just a solid and static line, but lateral planes.
Not to be confused with a laser ‘measuring tool’ which defines space and distance between multiple objects, or a laser pointer which is used in presentations, or playing for endless hours with your cat; a laser level sends a bright beam of vertical light in the form of a line onto flat a surface with supreme accuracy.
For example, a rotary laser level is helpful whether being used inside or outside. It’s used to determine and continuously show a consistent level of elevation when building up, driving, and/or drilling down.
Most rotating lasers will also self-level – typically when positioned within four degrees of level (depending on the manufacturer). Some will also let the user know if it has been thrown off-course. It’s often referred to as a ‘height alert’ feature – meaning the laser will stop working and alert you if it’s height has been bumped out of level.
Remember that rotating lasers come with many different battery options. Some laser levels will allow you to connect to a wired socket. Whereas others will be relying on battery packs whilst out on site. So don’t forget to TURN OFF your laser when you have made your markings.
