Abstract
A positioning system can position lumber to be cut while the lumber is traveling on a transfer deck. The positioning system has end stops that circulate at the same rate as the transfer deck. The end stops each have a locking mechanism that is triggered when the end stop passes an actuating member. A controller positions the actuating member so that the locking mechanism will lock the position of the end stop when the end stop is in a desired position.
