Description
The BORA NGX Clamp Edge saw guide makes it easy to achieve straight and precise cuts with your circular saw. Cutting large sheets of plywood or MDF materials has never been easier. Just adjust the clamp to the desired cut dimension and lock it in place. During the cut, your circular saw rides along the edge of the BORA NGX saw guide resulting in a professional, accurate cut. And, best of all with the BORA NGX Clamp Edge, you position, adjust and lock the clamp all from the same end. This convenience feature eliminates the need to walk around to the opposite side of the material to adjust or lock the clamping mechanism.
- Constructed with heavy-gauge aluminum for extreme duty
- T shaped locking handle slides up and down the guide to fit material being cut
- Locking handle linear motion rotates and locks in line with the aluminum extrusion for accuracy
- Grabs and locks to the work surface for a secure edge that won’t budge
- Easiest way to make precise, track saw like cuts
- Full 50 in. of clamping capacity
- 3 in. W extrusion is equipped with 2 slots which accept the head of a 1/4 in.-20 bolt, great for attaching shop built jigs or fixtures
- Use with circular saws, jig saws and routers or anytime a straight edge guide is needed

This guide is easy to use for making long crosscuts of plywood. Very light, but held up well as I cut up seven sheets of plywood to build four cabinets

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.

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 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.

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.

I have a few different clamps like this. This one is by far the best.

Sticks to the guide rail but overall Good saw plate
Laverne Nicolas (verified owner) –
It works but very time consuming checking and double checking that the saw is aligned correctly as well as the saw offset is correct for the cutting once aligned with the guide. The buckles aren’t as robust as i’d hope they’d be and are too flexible to be able to hold the saw in place without movement. one of my buckles wasn’t completely assembled as it was missing a pin for the closure. luckily i was able to get a nail to fit for the purpose. I’m happy with the product and i feel it provided me with straight cuts. it just takes a long time for set up.

The clamp is excellent and I expect to use it often. My only complaint is that the adhesive on the tape strip is not strong and the strip tends to peel off completely.
Randall Mayer (verified owner) –
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.

Sometimes the cut you want to make is difficult if not impossible on a table saw, especially if you are working alone. With this I can rip a full sheet into workable sections safely and comfortably on sawhorses. Plus if you are like me and can’t cut a straight line to save your life with a circular saw this will do that over and over with minimal effort. The quick clamp system is fast and easy to use on 90 degree cuts and you and attach the tracks with clamps at any angle if you need. Once you set the sled to know the offset of the blade the marks on the sled let you know if you are on your line and ready to cut. It breaks down into a small package and takes little room to store. I would say it is a good alternative to a table saw especially if storage space is at a premium.

This is a must have for small shops. It’s a great straight edge. Now, I have had it slip on me a couple of times. I now clamp both ends as an added safety measure.

BORA NGX 5-Piece Clamp Edge Deluxe Set – Almost everyone who has used a tracksaw appreciates its accuracy and clean cutting results, but their price tags are high and maybe prohibitive for the occasional user and Do-It-Yourself-er. This Bora set is a good option to avoid paying $500 and more for a good tracksaw. It does require a decent circular saw and a good blade that isn’t included, but most woodworkers already have one. Once the saw is mounted on the sled and the track clamped to the material it is easy to get straight clean cross-cuts and rips. I tested it by cross-cutting a piece of ½” plywood. The results were a smooth straight cut with almost no splintering.The track comes in two sections that can be combined to cut 8’ long boards and full-length plywood. I did wipe some silicone on the track to make the sled slide smoother but other than that it works great.The one issue I have is with the assembly instructions. They are all illustrations of steps to install and set up your saw and assemble the track etc. The problem is there isn’t any text to explain what you are doing or how to do it. Just pictures. Going through the process was some trial and error. For instance, it shows mounting the saw to the sled, but doesn’t tell you that the sled needs to be on the track for blade clearance. I included a photo that illustrates adjustments for the saw that I assume is for blade clearance. I found it hard to see why the two lines on the left are wrong and the lines on the right are correct.

Excellent guide and easy to use. When the two parts are assembled, they formed a straight edge that was verified with a level. Highly recommended.

Works great especially with worx exactrack circular saw. Cuts through 4 x 8 plywood straight every time!
Eulalia Mraz (verified owner) –
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.

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!

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!
