What are chalk lines used for?
| Chalk lines are used to draw long, straight lines on the surface of an object to provide precise reference points before cutting, tiling, leveling studs, wallpapering and many other tasks. | |
| Some chalk lines can also be used as plumb lines to create vertically straight ("plumb") lines. A plumb line is simply a piece of rope with a weight attached to one end. They are either held or suspended from an object and used to create direct landmarks. For more information, please visit the page titled: How to use a chalk line as a plumb line. |
 | Chalk lines will be used to mark long lines at distances where the use of a ruler or ruler would be impractical. Likewise, it would be impractical to use a chalk line to represent a surface that is only a few inches long. |
