The ON LEVEL marking system replaces the pencil, the chalk, and the layout tape.
Traditional marking automation requires moving lumber to a stationary machine. COLM goes to the crew. It rolls directly on raw lumber right on the deck where you are building. It prints layout markings—stud centers, window openings, header locations—exactly where they belong.
This eliminates the transport labor other systems create. COLM marks every board to within 3mm of spec. Your crew follows the ink. No tape measure required.

How COLM Operates
Unload and Launch
Bring the lumber to the active level. Set COLM on the first board. Send the framing plan via Bluetooth. Start printing.
Follow the Ink
COLM runs down the board. It prints layouts directly onto the wood face. No measuring, no chalk lines.
Frame the Wall
Your crew reads the marked lumber and nails it down. Every mark tells you exactly what stud, jack, or header sits there. Frame faster with zero mistakes.
