Floor variations

1 So setup laser anywere in room at 600mm on highest spot if its obvious
2 if not go around room and find highest spot and move laser to there keeping it set at 600
3 now go around room again and mark differences from 600
4 place screws at difference depth on marks you have made

Is that the best way to do it?

600mm is just a measurement. A self leveling laser line will give you a level line to work off, it could be any measurement. Once the laser is switched on use a staff to take heights of the laser line in different areas of the room. When you have established the high point take a measurement of that point on the floor to the laser line....for instance it could be 580mm ...then walk around the room noticing where the dips are as shown in that video. If you were to find a low spot where the ruler said 590mm you know the floor dips 10mm and so your packer or screw needs to be 10mm above the floor. When using a screw or packer you then double check with the staff or ruler you are using that when placed on top of packer/screw that the laser line corresponds to the high point ...ie, 580mm on your staff. That make sense ?
