The other evening I was marking a piece of flat stock to drill and was using the old trick of holding your 6" rule across the bar at a tangent. My son had never seen anyone do this before and he thought it was handy to know. I've been dividing boards up to rip for years using this technique, but it also comes in very handy to layout stock in halves, thirds or whatever. I just thought I would pass it on to some of the youngins who may not have used this trick. If your tolerance is only as close as the marks on a rule, then nothing is faster or less of a pain.
