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.

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

BORA 5-Piece Clamp Edge Saw Guide. Well built and nice features. When the extension is added, it can handle an eight foot piece of plywood. I dropped this product down a point because the instructions could use a lot more detail. Especially on installing the non-chip strips. Took me a while and a phone call to figure it out. First, straighten the strips out as much as possible. Second, the blue covering needs to be removed from the double sided tape. If your not careful, you’ll remove the tape along with the blue covering. One strip on each guide. Make sure the strip is on the same side of each guide. The side of the strip that has the tape goes on one side of the bottom of the guides (lower step on bottom). When the strip is installed, the tape side of the strip should be level with the upper step of the guide. The other edge of the strip should overhang the edge of the guide. The saw should be used on the side of the guide with the strip attached (overhang). Mounting the saw to the saw plate was easier and is adjustable in all directions. I stored my saw with the plate attached. The adjustible clamp holds the board tightly and gives you a ridgit, straight guide to cut on. Can be used with or without the sawplate. Using the saw plate is easier.

Excellent alternative to buying a track saw system. I already had an old circular saw that was collecting dust, so it was nice to be able to put it to use. It does require some setup, so make the extra effort so your cuts are straight and true.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Super handy for trimming doors to fit after a whole home flooring project.

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,

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.

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.

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

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