Abstract: Saw stop systems may include a first housing couplable with a saw, a control module coupled with the first housing and including a processor (the control module configured to communicatively couple with a computing device having a user interface) and one or more trackways coupled with the first housing. A sliding member is slidably coupled at least partially within the one or more trackways. A first portion of the one or more trackways prevents bending of the sliding member within the first portion. A stop coupled with the sliding member couples with an end of an item to be cut to facilitate positioning of the end of the item, relative to a cutting element of the saw, at a determined distance corresponding with a length received through the at least one user interface. A motor automatically positions the sliding member so that the stop is at the determined distance.
