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

I set this up today to test it out, First I removed my Craftsman circular saw from another brand track saw base. Then I installed it on the Bora base using the instructions that came with the set. First problem was the instructions are not the best but still able to figure things out. I set the tack across my table saw and placed the base on the track then the saw on the base. This let me adjust it to the track so the saw is not skewed on the base. After installing the saw on the base I installed the tear out strips. They were very easy to install and fit perfect to the track. Then I placed the base with saw on the track again and checked that the blade would ride along the edge of the tear out strip all the way down both pieces of track.. Its now ready to use. I took a piece of 3/4″ red oak plywood that was 76″ long and 24 1/2″ wide and cut 1/2″ off the whole langht so I had 76″ X 24″. I don’t have alot of room to work so I would rip my sheets of ply out side using my truck and a saw horse. but this time I just layed it across my table saw and clamped it down and cut it. The two piece of track connected together and the bora track layed down and clamped with the slide clamp only it was solid as a rock it was not moving. I placed the base and saw on the track and made a perfect cut and my work piece was nice and clean no tear out at all. Now with it 24″ wide I needed 2 pieces 28″ long so I took off the extension track and just use the 1 piece to cut across the width to cut off 28″. Now the left over piece I took and cut off another 28″ langth with my table saw then I compared the 2 pieces and they both were perfect and match up they both were square to each other. I find the base rides on the track very smooth and it does not skew any when you stop and start again. There is no slop in the base when riding along the track. I did not use the 2 track clamps at this time but thay are great I checked them out and thay adjust great they fit the track with no problems and I know I will use them alot in the future. Now with all that said the only thing I can see a problem with is the nuts on the bottom of the base. when I went to adjust the lock down track on the base the nuts turned in the grove. This should be a long nut made with flat stock so it can’t turn in the grove not a hex nut that will ware the plastic if its tighten and loosen to maney times. For me its ok I am leaving the saw set up. Even with the one flaw above this is easer and better than the other brand I have been using that I had to go buy clamps to hold it down to keep it from walking on cuts. Its also harder to set up for long cuts so The Bora clamp edge deluxe set is a Plus plus for me. Now all I need is a Bora Centipede so I dont have to use my truck as a table.

Easy to use guide clamp that makes accurate cuts quickly. Saw base is easy to mount to your saw and easy to dial in. Great setup for ripping and cutting down plywood.
Teagan Wiegand (verified owner) –
Have you ever had to rip a piece of material and tried to do it with just a steady hand? It’s really hard to get a straight accurate cut. The Bora five piece clamp set with straight edge gives you the ability to get a straight clean cut. You can do four or eight foot material and if the clamp set is difficult to figure out there is a web site available with instructions on the proper use of this handy tool

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 a strong, easy to operate clamp with a versatile saw guide attachment (Model 544050, Made in China). The clamp is 50” in length, long enough to use on a 4′ x 8′ piece of plywood to cross-cut it. The clamp adjusts by sliding the clamp end, but the mechanism must be FULLY disengaged or it will not slide. As with most clamps, the edge will not automatically be square to the clamping surface so use a square to align the clamp. The clamping force is STRONG, and takes a bit of muscle to lock/unlock the clamp. It’s enough to actually bend 1/4” plywood (see photo) so it will hold tightly during use. The clamp has two parallel slots on it that are perfect for holding 1/4” bolts, including toilet bolts, meaning the clamp can be used with homemade jigs. There is a nice hanging hole at the top of the clamp. This clamp is much better than either of the other two 50” clamps I own and will get a lot of use.I normally cut plywood by just sliding my circular saw against the edge of the clamp, and usually don’t drift from the clamp. The Edge Saw Guide virtually eliminates the chance of drift by riding BOTH sides of the clamp. The base adjusts for most saws (right or left-handed) and locks onto the saw with three clamps. Adjustment is a one-time task, requiring a 3mm hex (allen) wrench, which was not supplied. Unfortunately for me, there was no way to adjust the clamping bolts to engage on a flat spot on my saw base, which has a grid pattern, so the grip was tenuous at best. The guide comes with a strip of plastic to be installed as a “non-chip” edge, preventing the wood from splintering along the cut (similar to a zero-clearance throat plate on a table saw). I chose not to install mine, as it limits the clamps use as an edge guide for other saws and/or router. The clamp and guide work perfectly without it, but the cut itself might not be as clean on the upper surface.For my money I would buy the clamp and skip the Edge Saw Guide, especially since it doesn’t fit my particular circular saw as well as it might fit others. It’s a good quality accessory, but doesn’t add enough value for me.

I had a problem with the non-chip strip; it was pulling away from the metal and adhesive after I installed it. I contacted the manufacturer and they immediately sent a replacement.

Boro NGX 5-Piece Clamp Edge Deluxe Set is an excellent way to cut sheet-goods and other tasks. The set consists of two guide rail pieces to handle 4 x 8 panels. One aluminum guide is used to cross-cut the four foot side with a 50-inches long track. For the rip cut, add the second 50-inch guide extension to the first guide for a 100-inch length, a little over 8-feet long. The two set of tracks are held together securely with metal bars and four screws. The track is then laid on top of the supported panel and two edge clamps on each side, under the guide, are easily tightened to give a rock solid grip onto the panel edges. Two included track clamps are also included if you want an angle cut, any angle can be cut up to 90-degrees is possible. You can cut full 4 x 8 panels or smaller sizes easily with this setup. The circular saw making the cut can run along the edge of the aluminum track guide or attached with the provided saw sled that slips into the aluminum guide securely in a groove. Once the saw is mounted to it runs along a groove in the guide preventing the saw from wandering, assuring a straight cut.. It works similar to a track saw. Included in the set used with the sled plate are two lengths of 3M non-chip strips that attach to the bottom for riding on the panel. It minimizes any top edge tear-out for a cleaner cut. This is useful for bonded veneers; although not needed for other panels like MDF or construction grade plywood. The sled is made of sturdy plastic with honeycomb reinforcement that is rigid, doesn’t flex. The saw is held-down with hold-down screws and clips, can be positioned and removed easily. Bora also offers, optionally, other tool sled plates to hold routers and a jig saws that work with the track guide, too.I own a portable table-saw and continue to prefer Bora’s system for breaking down sheet-goods resting on two saw horses. It is safer than handling large sheets alone on the table saw. It gives me more control making the cut safe and clean.

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.

Exactly what I needed for rip cuts without the need of a track saw
Jacquelyn Ebert (verified owner) –
I like that the t-tracks accept 1/4 x 20 bolts. I hope to get lots of use from it. It seems pretty solid.
Wayne Torp (verified owner) –
It is just what I wanted. It grips firmly and doesn’t shift when cutting my plywood

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!

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.

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.

Making precise cuts on sheet goods has always been a problem. As a hobbyist who makes a lot of furniture and cabinetry, I usually do precision cuts on the table saw. But making precision cuts on sheet goods has always been a problem. In the past I would calculate the offset and clamp a board to the plywood and hope that the board was straight and square. My norm was to cut oversize and then do the precision on the table saw, but that was not always possible. A track saw would do a much better job, but I could not justify the expense. When I got the BORA 50” NGX Clamp Edge I found I no longer had to rely on the accuracy of whatever board I happened to find. This clamp adjusts quickly and is automatically square with the surface. It holds tightly and cures most of the difficulty I had. By adding the NGX Pro Saw Plate, it allows me to use my circular saw like a track saw. Now I can rip through sheet goods precisely without calculating the offset and with the non-chip strip attached to the clamp, tear out is greatly reduced. The circular saw attaches quickly and securely to the Saw Plate with 3 locking hold downs. Once I found the proper Allen wrench, setup was easy and I was ready to saw. (Hint – it is 3mm.) Very happy with this combination and it will definitely save me a lot of time and material.

Thought I was getting Justin and guide clampdown style for for power saw ended up getting a bonus edge guide which my circular saw fits into which I thought was rather nice used it a couple times so far seems to work rather well there’s a chip strip that goes with the text chance to stop the wood from chipping back if you’re doing doors so you don’t chip the edges makes it look clean would recommend this for anybody replacing or buying a new Edgcote clampdown style

This clamp will work well for long cuts as it will reach across a 48 inch width and It comes with an extension for a full 8 foot use. The clamp easily slides in the track and you can adjust pressure by careful placement. The clamps are only 3/4 inch thick so it works well with most stock.It also comes with a sled to mount your circular saw on. It is designed to hold most by simple adjustments. All of this can be a challenge to figure as the instructions are broken to simple drawings and no written text. There are also some clamps included which are designed for making long angle cuts.

I really could have used this when I was building 4 barn doors for my basement. But I have two more to go and this will make the job much easier. It’s a pretty simple setup – the bars clamp easily to the work piece. And if it’s just straight cuts you can get away without the sled, just keep your saw pressed up against the track. The sled is a little tricky to attach straight but that’s more due to me being new to using a track saw. Couple of YouTube videos later and it was easy to figure out. And using the sled will ensure the saw doesn’t stray. All parts are very sturdy, very little flex in the bars. And the additional track clamps are a great addition – you can use bar clamps or C clamps, but to have clamps purpose built for this is much better. All in all, this is hands down better than screwing in scrap pieces of wood to serve as my guide and then having to fill holes. My only complaint, like others, is the instructions. Definitely not the easiest to follow.

I like the Bora NGX clamp edge but was disappointed that it did not come with a tape to attach to the edge for the saw guide zero clearance cuts. Was very surprised to find that the plastic tape costs over $20.00. I bought this so that I wouldn’t have to separate my existing 50 inch clamp and extension. I only paid $150 for the 50inch clamp, 50inch extension, saw guide, 2-55″ tapes, and 2 clamps. Since I paid $59.94 for the 50″ clamp and will have to pay $20 for the tape guess I should have just bought 2 $149 packages and had a spare tape and saw guide.

This is a very convenient tool for cutting across large sheets, like plywood. Being 50″ wide means being able to handle 4′ sheets of plywood. Having a self locking feature is another nice feature. Simply line up on your marks, lock it into place and cut.
