Miter saw
Use the backstop for repeat cuts where the stock can be brought squarely to the saw fence.
Custom engraved measuring stop
Custom Laser Engraved Saw Backstop
This laser-engraved backstop allows you to specify custom labels at specific measurements that you use frequently, saving time and reducing errors.
Engraved labels put your repeat measurements directly where the cutting happens.

Backstop features
- Slide the stop to the desired position, flip to lock, push your material up to the stop and make your cut.
- Specify unique labels at specific measurements you commonly use, saving time and reducing errors.
- Specify inch, metric, or both, the number of divisions per unit, and the start and end measurement.
- Precision aluminum tube, anodized and CNC laser engraved for clear, durable, high-contrast markings.
Band saw
The scale and stop help reduce re-measuring when cutting tube, rod, bar, and similar stock.
Chop saw
Lock the stop at the desired position, push the material to the stop, and make the cut.

Our Backstop Evolution
We started by marking cuts by hand, then tried spacers, threaded rods, a CNC lead screw experiment, and off-the-shelf T-tracks.
The practical answer was better information at the point of use: CNC laser engraving the specific measurements and frequent labels directly onto the scale. That removes the lookup step and makes repeat cutting simpler.
Custom Backstop FAQs
What is the custom configured backstop?
It is a precision measuring stop that mounts near a stationary saw so repeated cuts can be made without re-measuring every piece.
What saws is it compatible with?
It can be used with stationary saw setups including band saws, miter saws, chop saws, and cut-off saws when mounted safely and square to the blade.
How do I calibrate it?
Mount the supports, align the scale to your reference measurement, make a test cut, then fine-tune the scale position until the cut length matches.
