It’s a bit difficult to set up. A lot of folks recommend using it with a dedicated saw and keeping that saw attached to the plate, which I think would help. But it makes excellent straight cuts, and sets up much faster than my old straight edge.

I think this is a great tool, especially when you purchase NGX saw plate to go with it. However, see my review of the saw plate. It only comes with one 55 inch Non Chip Strip. YOU NEED A SECOND ONE! This is essential for aligning the Clamp Edge when ripping full sheets of plywood. This is not noted anywhere in the product description and HD doesn’t offer the NCS as a separate purchase option.

Perfect for cutting ACM panel on my drafting table

Great for cutting sheet goods. The only downside is that it’s not easy to connect & disconnect to the extension.

Overall I like this Bora system. It clamps tight and did not bow while sawing. Once I got my circular saw mounted on the saw plate things went fast. I am glad I bought this system and I have used it often.
Shanel Beier (verified owner) –
Awesome. I can now cut straight with my circular saw.
Telly VonRueden (verified owner) –
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.

This NGX Saw Plate can be great but it does not fit my Milwaukee M18 circular saw and the directions are complicated. The plate will hold the vast majority of circular saws though and glides across the BORA NGX Saw Edge systems. The problem with my M18 circular saw is that its bottom plate is not a rectangle, the back inside end does not have a corner for the clamp to attach nor can I ensure that my saw is perfectly square on the ruler marks of the NGX plate (see pictures). The directions are complicated. First, I put the no-chip strip in the wrong spot. The directions say to put it on the edge of the NGX Edge saw guide but didn’t specify underneath the Edge. I tried to remove the strip but the adhesive came off too and it was a mess. Second, its fairly easy in theory to mount a saw on the plate but the directions make it difficult. I found myself wondering what the heck an “excrusion” is. The illustrations could be much better. This plate is well-engineered and sturdy. Using this plate, it is much easier to get an accurate cut because the no chip strip tells you where the blade will cut as opposed to not using the saw plate and measuring the distance from your circular saw’s blade to the edge of the edge clamp. I still use my NGX Edge saw guide as its a great substitute for lugging big boards across a table saw. The saw must be mounted perfectly on this plate for smooth and clean cuts. Made in China.

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 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.

I deserve a hard kick in the pants – for not getting one of these tools years ago. Like many DIYer, I have struggled with using a piece of extruded aluminum or angle iron and a pair of clamps to cut straight lines (hopefully) in large sheets of material. The setup was time consuming and the cut wasn’t always straight. This tool virtually eliminates both of those problems. Very easy to use – with excellent clamping force – and sturdy enough to always get straight cuts. They also have a saw adapter (purchased separately) that holds the saw in a tray which slides along on top of the saw guide – eliminates the possibility of the saw drifting off track. This tool is a must have for any volume of 4X8′ cutting.

So glad I have one of these. While I admittedly haven’t used it much, it has been great the handful of times I have put it to use. Cuts now come out perfectly straight, which was always a struggle when simply following a line or using a makeshift guide out of a straight edge and clamps. I also own the saw plate for this guide but wasn’t sure that the blade and edge were parallel nor convinced that the saw would stay firmly in place, so I never actually used it to cut anything. One of these days I’ll give it another shot.Back to the guide:. There’s 50″ between the jaws, so cutting a 4×8 piece of plywood across the shorter side isn’t a problem. Once tightened down, they grip the edges really well – no issues with them coming loose. Now, I’m not sure if this is a design issue or a feature, but once you loosen the clamp, you kind of have to fiddle with it in order to move the jaw. Kind of annoying but not a deal breaker. Another thing that bothers me is the fact that the critical parts (jaws, clamp) are made out of plastic. Should be fine for regular homeowner use, but longevity is a concern. One thing to note is that the clamp sticks out close to 3″ when it is tightened – just something to consider as this may be a problem if you have to set this up on the floor.

This product was not what I expected. I thought I could use it with the WTX system that I have, but it would mean I would have to doube up on to straight edges. I think they need to make T square accessary for WTX straight edge system,

I have used a few different clamp edge guide before so I am familiar with this type of product. This one is the best one that I have used by far. For me, it is the clamping action that makes it stand out. This may seem simple but other manufacturers have not gotten this perfect in my opinion. The clamp holds very tight without squeezing the material too much. Others will either slip because they are not tight enough or they will be so tight that either the edge guide or the material is bowed. Bora gets it perfect!

I found this guide to be very solid as I did not see any measurable deflection when using it and it worked great as a guide. However, not a great track saw substitute. Using either the Saw Plate or just the guide, I found the cuts to be true. I also found that it helped when using the Saw Plate to use a dry lubricant (I used PTFE) on the guide as this allows the saw move much easier on the guide. The guide itself is easy to set up and when locked down it doesn’t move. Using the Saw Plate ensures that your cuts will be true. (I have been known to drift away from a guide.) I think the clamps that allow the guide to be used at an angle across a piece of plywood were very clever and worked great.However, I found the lack of instructions for setting it us to use like a track saw to be lacking to say the least. The instructions were just pictures without any written explanations of any of the steps. Consequently, it took me quite a while to get the saw(s) set up to see how they worked. In addition, it requires a metric allen wrench to set up a saw on the Saw Plate and this wasn’t included so I had to file down another allen wrench to fit. I set put the ‘non chip strip’ on the guide and tried the saw with 24-tooth blade and had minimal tear-out. However, when I switch to the saw with the 60-tooth blade I did have tear-out. Not sure why. I joined the two sections of the guide together to see how that worked and found the joint was not exact, and I had to file the bottom of the lead edge of the Saw Plate so it would not hang up on the joint.I recommend this product an the basis that you will get straight true cuts using the guide particularly when using the Saw Plate. I would have rated it higher if it in fact eliminated tear-out and the instructions were easier to follow. I also found that the nuts that are held in position when tightening the guides on the Saw Plate can rotate as they are not a snug fit in the slots they sit in.

This Bora clamp deluxe just make my jobs so much easier I do carpentry, cabinets, and other wood work, now I can make my cuts much more straight, or in any angle, the with extension you can cut a plywood 8 feet long or you can take the extension off and do smaller cuts, the saw plate is included and so easy to attach a circular saw, you can move it to different measurements positions to make your cuts, definitely I will recommend this Bora clamp deluxe for smaller or big jobs

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!

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!!!!!!!!!!
