The invention relates to a cutting-to-length system (1) for cutting workpieces to a desired length, comprising a processing device (2), which has a cutting tool (4) and a longitudinal stop, wherein the longitudinal stop is movably mounted for setting the desired length between the longitudinal stop and the cutting tool, and comprising a distance gauge (3) for determining the desired length. It is provided that the processing device (2) and the distance gauge (3) each have a communication module (13, 15) for the wireless or wire-bound transmission of data, and that, for moving it, the longitudinal stop (12) is assigned an actuator (11), which sets the desired length on the basis of at least one distance sensed by the distance gauge (3).
