I claim: 1. A material processing system comprising an apparatus including a processing path, a saw station located along the processing path, a positioner configured to push a trailing end of a work piece along the processing path toward the saw station, and a computer connected to the apparatus programmed to provide a digital interface allowing an operator to control operation of the apparatus through the interface, the interface including a display screen having a set of keys, a key customizing field, and a numerical keypad field, each key being customizable for a particular application by touching the key customizing field and the numerical key pad field to affect a selected movement function of the positioner along the processing path. 2. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the movement function assigned to a particular key indicates a target location along the processing path for the positioner to move to upon actuation of the key by the operator. 3. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the movement function assigned to a particular key indicates a target location along the processing path for the positioner to move to upon actuation of the key and actuation of a start button by the operator. 4. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the movement function assigned to a particular key indicates a target location along the processing path for the positioner to move the work piece to upon actuation of the key by the operator. 5. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the movement function assigned to a particular key indicates a target location along the processing path for the positioner to move the work piece to upon actuation of the key and actuation of a start button by the operator. 6. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the movement function assigned to a particular key indicates a math operand to be performed on a position number upon actuation of the key and actuation of a start button by the operator. 7. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the movement function assigned to a particular key indicates a math operand to be performed on a position number upon actuation of the key by the operator. 8. The apparatus of claim 6, wherein the math operand includes an addition or subtraction function. 9. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the movement function assigned to a particular key indicates a series of target locations along the processing path for the positioner to move to upon sequential actuation of the key by the operator. 10. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the interface permits each key to be marked with a symbol indicating its customized function. 11. The apparatus of claim 1, wherein the interface permits toggling between multiple screens, each screen containing a set of customizable keys for use by the operator in carrying out a specific project type. 12. A method of cutting material comprising providing an apparatus including a processing path, a saw station located along the processing path, a positioner configured to push a trailing end of a work piece along the processing path toward the saw station, and a controller connected to the apparatus programmed to provide a digital interface allowing an operator to control operation of the apparatus through the interface, the interface including a display screen having a set of keys, a key customizing field and a numerical key pad field, each key being customizable for a particular application by touching the key customizing field and the numerical key pad field to affect a selected movement function of the positioner along the processing path, selecting a movement function for affecting movement of the positioner, and assigning the selected movement function to a key in the display field, inputting data to the controller indicating a length of a work piece to be processed, initiating the movement function on the positioner by actuating the key, tracking location of the work piece relative to the saw station based on the location of the positioner along the processing path and the known length of the work piece, and cutting the work piece at the saw station when the work piece has been pushed to an appropriate position for cutting the work piece into desired dimensions. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the initiating step includes actuating a start key. 14. The method of claim 12, wherein the movement function includes a series of desired position movement numbers for the positioner. 15. The method of claim 12, wherein the movement function includes a math operand for performing a math function on a position number.
