This clamp edge guide is a fantastic addition to any shop! It is surprisingly light weight, made from extruded aluminum, but very durable. The clamps are a strong plastic material, and the clamp surfaces that touch the material to be cut have a rubber, non-abrasive grip surface.The clamp is ~50″, easily able to be used to rip a full sheet of plywood. One of the clamp ends slides on an internal track making it easily adjustable. That means the clamp can be used to cut any width of wood from ~48″ to 3″ wide. Overall a very useful tool for making long, straight cuts!

It is a nice product but the clamp pressure is not that strong, it can slip and will if there is any pressure from the saw. Also the height or thickness is a little to much who’s had only allows the skill saw to be used in one direction. Slipping while clamp is set is main concern.

This appears to be well-made but I never had to use it after I bought it.

BORA NGX Clamp Edge Saw Guide is a quality guide for circular saws, routers and even jig saws. It is made of heavy duty aluminum with an excellent clamping method that secures the guide rail above on top of the sheet goods with an edge clamp. The handle to tighten the guide is easy to use by one person and doesn’t budge at all when used with the saw. A secure fit is critical in preventing the saw from wandering off the cut. It doesn’t happen often, but it can ruin the cut and I’ve done it. I had a shorter Rockwell guide and it wasn’t nearly as well done as this one. There is an optional second section that can be joined to this 50-inch rail extending it to handle rip cut for sheet length goods, too.An advantage of this system is the excellent options that can be had, sold separately, to make it even better to use. I used my rail with their universal circular saw plate that mounts the circular saw using hold down clamps. The plate can then be slipped into the slots on the top of the aluminum rail securing it. It then works more closer to a track saw. Included with the plate is a length of 3M non-chip strip to attach to the bottom of the plate along the saw blade, reduces any top edge tear-out for a cleaner cut. This is useful for bonded veneers. Bora has similar plates for routers and a jig saws that slip into the slots on the top of the rail. Finally, I was at initially concerned about the plate being plastic. It is thick plastic and feels substantial for DIY work, all well done. I tried the rail and saw plate out with my Milwaukee cordless circular saw and it fit nicely after about five minutes of making set-up adjustments. You have to slide over the hold down rail that has two clamps and make it exactly parallel to the saw blade and lined up on the plate’s blade guide. It is all easily done with allen screws and a flat slotted screwdriver. Really not a big deal, but the saw has to be accurately lined up to get a straight cut. I didn’t use their non-chip tape and didn’t need it for the MDF used. Overall, this is an excellent tool for crosscutting sheet goods. The rail alone is first rate and with the circular saw plate it goes quicker and is more accurate. I also own a small work-site table saw and when working alone prefer this method to cut sheet goods on two saw horses. It just is safer with my experience level and equipment setup. I feel the Bora system however you’ve configured it is a good value for DIY-ers to other methods.

This tool is like having a portable track saw. I most recently used it for ripping and cross cutting sheets of plywood and 4’x8’ PVC trim sheets. And using it with the caddy/sled/sawplate/whatever-you-want-to-call-it, which attaches to the saw, sure beats my previous method. No more fighting an imperfect 2×4 to stay flush. The caddy fits on two of my 7 1/4” saws (one corded, one cordless), as well as my little 6 1/2” cordless. At first I struggled to attach the saws, but that was because I wasn’t lifting the blade. Once attached, you lower the saw blade to make sure there’s reasonable cutting depth (keep in mind the caddy’s clamps should be placed as to not interfere with the saw’s motor/housing etc… I made that mistake too). That brings me to the paper instructions…. Would have been nice if they were clearer. Bora’s website wasn’t any help either… I had to goto youtube to figure it out. There are a lot of fine adjustments required to get the saw perfectly straight in the caddy, so I’ve left my corded saw in it so it’s ready to go for the next project.The guide comes in two pieces, which when combined provides 100”. Keep in mind when you only use the main piece you’ll get a little less than a 50” cut due to the clamps on each end. Would have been nice if this guide had quick change/setup capability to go from 55” to 100”. Assembly to 100″ requires removing a few screws and then screwing the ends together. Of course, then you have to reverse the process to take it apart for storage. I greatly appreciate the hanging hooks on both guides since I can get them out of the way when not in use.The 50” and 100” non-chip adhesive tape strip, is a nice idea in theory. In practice, it’s useless in my opinion unless you (a) adhere it perfectly straight (although it will be kinda straight if not perfect after the first cut); and (b) make only straight cuts. If you do a beveled cut you’ll cut the tape unless you flip the whole sled contraption around to the other side of the track…. and doing so changes the blade’s position. I haven’t tried the two additional track clamps for angle cutting yet because I haven’t needed angular cuts. To attach the track clamps you have to remove the ends and slide them onto the track. Overall this seems well built and it’s a very helpful tool for the DIYer like me who wants the advantages of a track saw. I’m pleased with it.

The Bora NGX is a great product for ensuring straight cuts! I use it by itself most of the time but it also has accessories that can be used with saws, routers, and jig saws.

Precise quick sheet cutting guide. Light, strong, well made and easy to use. Clamping NGX guide and bonus exact fitting saw plate allow time saving cuts. Especially for equal multiple sheet cutting. Clear consise instructions. Initial saw plate set up took a few minutes but once done allowed quick easy detach and reattaching of saw with quick release clamps. Guide clamps to hold securely for use with saw or saw plate. First task was squaring up plywood work surface, guide performed well, easily met expectations. Easy to set perpindicular using square then clamping in place for an accurate cut. The only issue was with the saw plate cut line indicator detaching after use. Likely knocked out. Inserting opposite way, more to my liking in use, care needs to be given when handling saw plate to prevent loss of cut line indicators. Selected the NGX guide for beadboard sheet cutting. Highly satisfied with guides ability to hold panel securely for precise clean cuts. Backing clamp slightly off panel allowed grip without bending for precise clean cuts. Guide quickly proved valuable for accurate quick sheet cutting but also as a straight edge and extension for level adding more value to the economical saw guide. A great DIY tool that performs very well. Highly recommend.

THis is a much better system than my fist clamp on guide. The clamp on to the board section is mostly aluminum. The saw sled is mostly plastic. My only problem was locating the proper tool to get the sled to fit my circular saw. Once that was sorted out it was smooth sailing. This is much more precise than the early model I had. The light weight will also make this tool very portable. That only leaves me looking at the new battery operated saws.

I am reviewing the saw plate, and the 100″ NGX two piece saw guide. Pros1) Easy to set upCons1) The saw plate is plastic. The buckles that hold it to your saw are aluminum, but they are secured to a plastic base.2) The saw guide clamping mechanism is plastic. There’s no way that clamp is going to stand up to years of use 3) It takes quite a bit of force to securely clamp the guide to your work piece, which tends to move the guide a tiny bit from your proposed cut line. You can back off the clamp pressure if you want, but then you risk the guide moving during your cut.4) When mounted on the saw guide, the saw plate rocks a bit from side to side. You can see this on YouTube videos. Since it doesn’t make contact with the wood, it is unstable and will not produce an accurate 90 degree edge5) The saw plate comes with a 55″ cutting strip, but the 100″ guide doesn’t include any strip. So basically, if you want to make clean cuts, you need to spend another $20 for an addition Non-Chip Strip. Not cool Bora!6) The two 50″ cutting guides are made of a thin gauge aluminum. It’s not a problem where cutting is concerned, but just shows how quality took a back seat to profits.Here’s the bottom line;If it came with a 100″ cutting strip, had metal clamps on the guides, and was priced under $100, I’d give it an additional star because the design is kind of cool. As it stands now, it’s an overpriced, over-hyped, novelty item. I returned mine after one use, and decided to make my own with 80/20 aluminum.

This is a very useful tool overall, but the adhesive on the chip strip is weak and didn’t last for two days. Since the strip is not a necessary item, I can’t complain too loudly since I really like the rail and bracket.

I am very impressed with the BORA NGX Clamp Edge Saw Guide did not bend or bow while I was making cuts. The aluminum is heavy enough to be strong but the tool is light enough to use easily, this has become my go to strait edge clamping saw guide. The guide slides and adjusts from one end and the clamp holds firmly and did not come loose while I was using it.
Rachael Schimmel (verified owner) –
It’s straight and it locks. Feels pretty solid but doesn’t slide that smoothly. It can give one a false sense of security in thinking you are making straight cuts but you will need to double or triple check before you cut. When paired with the bora saw base plate it is even more the case to triple check your lines, measurements and fasteners as things can get out of adjustment after each pass. Overall can produce straight and accurate cuts but it will take a long time and adjustment(s).

Excellent! I’ve been using home-made straight edges and boards that I’d screw down to a table, run my circular saw down it and sort of get me some straight cuts. But, it was practically laughable! Not to mention dangerous! Been wanting one of the saw guides for long time now!I got the Bora, I love it and I also wonder why I waited sooo long to buy me one. Just not tooo smart on my end!This one is an all aluminum straight edge, thick rigid plastic for the rest. Def not JUNK! When I lock it in place it don’t give, or “walk” on you, so to speak. Solid, thick plastic clamps! The aluminum is thick, I just don’t see it warping, bending or nothing like that anytime soon, at all. The saw slides right on down for a perfect straight cut every cut I’ve made so far! I can’t understand what took me sooo long finally get me one of these saw guides! Anyway, it’s simple to use, like they say, you only lock it from one side and no going to the other side of your table or whatever, no wasting time and walking around! Adjusts easy, none of that binding or anything like that while trying to adjust clamp! This is big help if you got a few cuts to make, if you just want a perfect cut each time or if you’re like me and don’t want to break out your table saw for everything a table saw is needed for! This turns my circular saws into table saws, simply and quickly! I love it. Did I mention I just can’t believe it took me sooo long to finally get me one of these??! If you’re on the fence about buying you one, I’d get this Bora, it’s sooo worth it, you’ll be glad you got you one, especially the “Bora” saw guide. They’re def high end!Should anything go bad or anything crazy happen with mine I’ll update my review, but so far, so excellent!

Purchased this kit to augment a WTX have owned for many years. Clamp mechanism of NGX is much better design IMO and is easy to set. Using the saw sled with Mak 18V LXT sidewinder and this combo works well to add and easy to set up track saw rig for panel work in my pocket shop.

It took me a little while to understand on how to mount my saw but once the light bulb in my head turned on it was easy. One of the clamps broke and sent Bora a picture of it and they sent me a new one right away. Good Customer Service!!!!!!!!!!

This is one of those tools I never knew I needed until I tried it. I’ve always used a couple of clamps and something with a “straight” edge to try to get a straight line. That involved finding something straight and of course running from side to side of the sheet to adjust the clamp. This tool takes all that extra effort away. Set it where you need it and quickly clamp it at one end, then cut. Done. It’s very light, very easy to maneuver, and the adjustable clamp slides easily in the track.Pair the clamp with Bora Saw Plate accessory (https://www.homedepot.com/p/BORA-NGX-55-in-Saw-Plate-with-Non-Chip-Strip-544001/311799074), and move your saw effortlessly along the track. These clamps and accessories basically turn your circular saw into a unisaw!

Excellent saw guide, an important tool if you dont own a table saw or cant lug a large sheet of plywood across a table saw. It is very easy to use and the clamp is strong. The clamp has a temporary setting before you lock it into place. It locks very tight and may bow up so you should leave the clamp a little loose before cinching it down. It holds onto the piece nicely. For sawing, all you need to do is know the distance from the edge of you saw plate to the cut (mine is 4″) and set the clamp that distance away. The clamp can fit easily across 4 foot sheet and is durable as well. It can also be used for scoring drywall. This is a great tool to have in the workshop and hangs easily on a nail for storage. In the past I have used my most straight piece of wood and clamps. This saw guide saves me time and hassle.

I got this to help me cut large pieces of plywood for some upcoming woodworking projects. I expect this to work perfectly in assisting me in handling full sheets of plywood, OSB, MDF, and anything else that comes in large sheets – can’t wait to get started this weekend. The track and attachments are very well made and the instructions included will help greatly when setting this up and using it.
