Do it all the time with dowels. Knife, roll the dowel under blade pressure along the bench,
and when the score line is deep enough, snap the length off. With boards, it takes a diagonal
cut (two bookcase sides 5' high, and a little over, from a 10' board after taking an inch off each end
to clean it up).
Scissors on 0.042" veneer is another way.

I was waiting for that. ;-)
However it doesn't change the point I was making. I can still calculate a number that each
of the 3 pieces will measure and each of those numbers will be 1 divided by a number that
is larger than 16.

What Kind Of Calculations Are You Expecting The Device To Do Via Voice?
I Just Asked My Phone: "What Is The Square Root Of 6 Times 4 Minus 32 Times 8"
She Responded: "The Answer Is Approximately Minus 246 Point 202"
The Phone Displayed The Calculation As:
(Square Root(6) x 4) -(32 x 8) = -246.202041029
I'm Not Impressed. She Should Have Said "The Answer Is Approximately Negative 246 Point 202"

Cortana can handle basic math, but when I throw anything more complicated
at her, she just does a web search. When my hands are full, that's when I
usually don't need a calculator.

He's obviously not a sheep dog. They're good at rounding things up, so he
would have said -250.

But that is rounding it down not up, up is -245.

You need to take into account the width of the Kerf.
It is extremely difficult to get 3 pieces 6.00 inches long out of an
18.00 inch piece.

Really? So if I have a piece of something that measures 1/16" and I want to
cut it into thirds, I guess I'm already done. But wait, I still only have 1
piece.
In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they are not.

How much tolerance do you allow?
I'd convert in my head to 18 18/16 = 6 3/16 plus about a third of a
1/16th (actually 1/48) and make the cut. Close enough.

She said: "The answer is approximately 6 point 396" and displayed:
(19 3/16)/3 = 6.39583333333
BTW, she also displays a calculator in case I want to so my own calculations.

How did he indicate the "negative"? Did he use his back paw or did he
scratch back to front?

If you bought two think kerf blades and mounted them side by side you

This has been discussed a few times before, just the saving by switching
to a thin kerf blade you can save on both wood and power. The change to
thin kerf allows me to buy less wood. Using the blade takes less power
and it drastically cut the electric bill too.
I've tracked the savings on a spreadsheet and the savings was enough to
put my two kids through college. Simply put, thin kerf = no student loans.
If a tool or machine eliminates any loss, I'd buy one and with the
payback be out shopping for a Corvette. Bring on the technology.

Years ago woodworkers worried about things like that, but no more.
Today, you get two pieces a full 6" and a third piece that gets a trophy
for participating.

When I added "in sixteenths" to the question, instead of doing the math, my phone offered
some links to on-line calculators that give answers in fractions.

Dog's a liar; she's horrible at math. But, she can read over DerbyDad's
shoulder.

Be a while before you see them in home woodshops - even those that
currently have shelves of "green" tools - - - -

No, if you cut something in three, you will always have three pieces
(kinda by definition). If you ask what is 1/16 divided by three, the
right answer is "zero".

No, in this case theory and practice are perfectly compatable. The
problem is understanding precision.

there are ultrasonic slicers now
not sure if they have made them work with wood yet but i bet they have
saw one used in food production
was used for slicing things that deform badly when sliced
the ultrasonic sliced perfectly with no deformation and no scrap
and almost no sound of course
really effectively sielnt

sometimes technology breaks out and disrupts
it could happen if someone developing it now decides to expand
their market space
if a mill could cut wood with no saw dust and no loss of material
that could convert to more money quickly
and since ultrasound slicers seem to work better on wet wood a mill
is where it my show up first
then the tech trickles down
portable ultrasound saws would be next

that should be a blade maker slogan
but then someone will spoil it by suing because they bought the
blade and still had to take a student loan

Since the information given is only good to 1/16", more precision in
the result wouldn't be useful.

I asked my dog. He scratched on the floor with his paw, -246. Just
rounded it off. Dumb dog.
