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.

Sticks to the guide rail but overall Good saw plate

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 clamp/guide is invaluable for table saw free environments. I couldn’t recommend it enough!
Melvina Shields (verified owner) –
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.

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.

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 is a great tool. I’ve been fiddling for years with just clamping a long piece of straight wood to plywood when I need to make cuts with any precision. So, three clamps and a bulky piece of wood. It works, but it’s a pain. This tool allows you to clamp on sheet goods up to 4 feet wide and get cutting right away. It seems to clamp on consistently at a right angle, but I’m a bit compulsive, so I do check each time. You will have to do some calculation to know how far to set the clamp from where you need to cut–you have to calculate some offset from your saw’s guide. Unless–you can get the Bora Saw Plate that fits with this. If you have the saw plate, you fit your circular saw to the plate, attach an additional guide to the clamp edge, and after setup, you can set the guide to where you want your cuts. This speeds up the process like crazy, and basically gives you the capabilities of a track saw from your circular saw. Great stuff.

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.

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 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.

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

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

I have this and the extension for a 104″ reach to rip sheet goods. But buying the two thinking you are going to reconfigure each time you “rip” and “crosscut” a 4×8 sheet is not going to work–too long and too much wear on the parts. It holds well, but takes time to set up straight. A little pricey!

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!

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.

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).
