A automated stick cutting system is provided adapted to produce stick-frame construction components from material for building construction. The automated stick cutting system has a frame having an in-feed portion and an out-feed portion. A saw is adapted to cut the material, the saw coupled to the frame. An in-feed drive is coupled to the frame, the in-feed drive adapted to accept the material from the in-feed portion and feed the material to the saw. A position detector is coupled to the frame, the position detector adapted to track a position of the material relative to the in-feed drive. An out-feed drive is adapted to accept the material uncut from the in-feed drive, the out-feed drive adapted to accept the material cut from the saw and feed cut material to the out-feed portion. An edge detector is adapted to detect a leading edge of the material when being fed to the saw by the in-feed drive. The position detector and the edge detector cooperate with operation of the saw to meter lengths of the material through the in-feed drive and to cut a predetermined length of the material with the saw.
