Devices are described for automatically producing a reference indication of the position where a cut is to be made. Data supplied by a computer program causes a cut position indicator to give direction indications to the butcher with respect to each carcass where the cut should be made under existing market conditions for the most economical utilization of the specific carcass involved. For example in connection with a pork carcass, the computer solution for the ham cut, the data moves a device mounted directly on the saw so a beam of light or shadow is located with respect to an identifiable reference point, preferably the aitch bone. The saw will be automatically positioned in the appropriate location to produce the most economical ham/loin cut. Similarly, a light or shadow producing device, positioned over the cutting table at the area for making the shoulder cut, projects onto the carcass and is an instruction to the butcher to cut a carcass at that point, again to produce the most economical cut.
