Automating a cheap table saw

Update: Fully Functional Version 1 Released! I'm excited to announce the release of version 1, now fully operational and ready for use! I've made a crucial switch to direct drive motors, which are NEMA23, 3.amp, and feature a precise 1.8-degree rotation. You can find the Arduino code and schematics at http://www.kundesalg.no/. The Saw controller is performing flawlessly. Future Development: Upcoming improvements include adding angle readout capabilities and accelerating calibration processes. If this version receives positive feedback, I plan to develop a touch screen version featuring automated fence adjustments and customizable settings. To stay updated on my progress, consider subscribing to my YouTube channel. Background: As someone who's grown tired of manually cranking their table saw, I've made it my mission to automate the process as much as possible. You can view build videos from this playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEUWcZ3MqU9P9sx6SYn9cLhZ_0nQ2PeK3 The controller utilizes a 2-potmeter setup I previously created, available at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1134377
