They may feel kind of cheap, but they function really well. A+

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!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

My son wanted this for a project he had, I thought he didn’t need it. I was surprised how handy it was and easy to use. I wouldn’t think of cutting a board without it now.

Cuts straight lines and is a great tool. Guide does stick while cutting and adhesive tape starts to peel off when not in use.

Worked really well

Exactly what I needed for rip cuts without the need of a track saw

So my Dad had a guide for his circular saw which was two pieces. It was a pain to setup & get straight. I ordered this guide because it was one piece & can be setup with one hand as I demonstrate in the video below. When cutting thick plywood, using one of these guides is way easier & more accurate than trying to rip the material on a table saw or using a circular saw freehand. Mine came with a sled, which can be used in conjunction with the guide to make the cutting easier & more accurate.

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.

It is just what I wanted. It grips firmly and doesn’t shift when cutting my plywood

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 clamp/guide is invaluable for table saw free environments. I couldn’t recommend it enough!

Good quality product for the price. Maybe not as nice as a good track saw, but for the few projects I do each year it works fine. Allows straight cutting of 4×8 sheets in both directions. It works best with saws that have a flat metal base on top. My Porter Cable saw has ridges on top of the base which creates some problems. I ended up purchasing a Dewalt saw as the base is flat on top. I’d recommend getting a separate 4′ section for cross cutting sheets of plywood (4′ direction) to avoid having to keep taking the guide apart. Also the saw sits fairly high off of the wood so the cutting depth is reduced quite a bit. A 6 1/2″ blade would be marginal.

Tried to use it over the weekend on a few sheets of plywood. It seems as if not completly square. There does not seem to be any adjustments to square it off perfectly.
Mallory Purdy (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.

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

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.
