Laser Levels For Drop Ceilings

With the DEWALT DW087K Self-Leveling Line Laser, you get accurate measurements essential to all construction and remodeling projects. This self-leveling line laser can be used for both horizontal and vertical applications and gives precise readings even at long distances.

An easy example to understand how a Rotary Laser Level can be used is to imagine you want to install a chair rail around a room. The hard part about this job is making sure the chair rail is level and the same height from the floor on all four sides of the room. To do this job right, you will need to make several measurements and marks on the walls of both height and level with a tape measure and traditional bubble level (or spirit level). With a Rotary Laser Level, however, you can place the Rotary Laser Level in the center of room on a Tripod. When you turn on the Rotary Laser Level, a beam of light circles the room at the same height. You can then adjust the tripod to get the exact height you need, for chair rails this is typically 1/3 up the wall, or 32”- 36” for an 8’ ceiling. With the laser beam of light continually circling the room, you can now effortless install your chair rail around the room with confidence it is perfect.

 

Other application examples where a Rotary Laser Level may be useful would be installing kitchen cabinets where multiple counter-tops and top-cabinets need to be level around the room; leveling a floor, drop-ceilings (acoustical ceilings) in a basement wreckroom where the ceiling tiles need to be the same height around the room; and framing a room, again say a wreck-room where you want your studs to be even across the room so your drywall will attach evenly. In this last case, the Rotary Laser Level would be turned on its side, so instead of shooting a beam of light around the walls of the room, the beam would be rotating 360-degrees across the floor and ceiling.
