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

I have wanted a track saw to breakdown plywood for a long time, but I could not justify the cost for a tool that I would use only a few times per year. The Bora NGX 5-Piece Clamp Edge Deluxe Set is well designed, extra sturdy and easy to use. The Bora NGX Set is less than one-third the cost and functions just as well as a track saw; therefore I think it is the perfect alternative for the DIYer who cannot afford a track saw. The BORA NGX clamping system is super strong and will not slip. I was especially pleased with the track clamps that came with the set, they allow the clamps to be used to make cuts at angles other than 90 degrees. Joining the two 50 inch straight edges together with the track clamps allow for angle cuts even on sheets of plywood. A phillips head screwdriver is required to connect the two straight edges together, but even though this may be a hassle, it serves to insure that the straight edge is indeed straight.I was impressed that the set even came with 2 Rolls of 55-inch self-adhesive non-chip strips used for reducing top edge tear-out. I was disappointed with the instructions that came with the set, I found them to be almost useless. I also had to look through several tool bags to find a #3 allen wrench which is required to move the brackets that hold the skill saw on the saw plate—it seems that a #3 allen wrench could be included in the set. I did find a wonderful video on YouTube from WorkshopAddict that does an excellent job of showing me all of the features of the BORA NGX set.I would definitely recommend the BORA NGX 5-Piece Clamp Edge Deluxe Set for anyone who already has a skill saw and is looking for a low cost alternative to a track saw.

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

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!

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.

The Bora NGX Clamp Edge Saw Guide is a good way to get a straight line cut on sheets of plywood or even other sheet products. The basic construction of this tool is of an aluminum extrusion and a plastic clamping system that quickly adjusts to any length of material up to about 50 inches. The actual clamp is easy to use with a large clamping handle. This saw guide is lightweight and once clamped to sheet of material doesn’t stand high enough to interfere with those saws where the motor hangs out beyond the base plate of the saw. This means you can cut with either side of saw. I prefer to hang the motor side of the saw onto the larger (clamped side) of the material but you must decide which way the saw is going to go because the measurement from the edge of the saw’s base plate is different on each side. This brings up another concern in that the line to be cut has to be marked and the saw guide has to be off-set by that amount. My easy fix for that is to cut one or two small blocks of wood, measuring exactly the amount from the edge of the saw’s base plate to the blade, then use them to mark the location where your saw guide will be placed and secured. So that brings us to a point where you want to ask why not just snap a chalk line mark and follow it. I have to say that this clamp edge saw guide will provide a straighter cut than following a chalk line but it will take a lot more time and the results may not be worth it for many users. I want to also mention that Bora NGX has an accessory saw plate (Part #544001) that allows attachment of most circular saws and slides over the top of this saw guide that will give results similar to a track saw. I have included a photo of that product below. Overall I think that this is a good product that will provide excellent results when used properly but it requires much more time than using the good old chalk line.

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.

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,

Outstanding way to make smooth straight cuts across sheeting, like plywood, particle board and paneling. The saw plate is well designed to accommodate many different manufacturers circular saws. I was easily able to attach the 2 saws that I have. The saw plate slides along the saw tracks to provide for easily sawing sheeting. The first section of track is long enough to fit across up to 50″. The second section of track fits on the end of the first to extend the length of cut to 100″. 4 screws are used to attach the 2 sections together. The tracks are made from rigid aluminum and the saw plate is made of plastic. even though it was made of plastic it was durable, rigid and held my 2 saws tightly in place. The only negative I found was somewhat vague installation instructions. Their website didn’t provide a lot more detail. Their customer service did provide a link to video and I ran across a really good one on the internet. Try searching Bora NGX.

THis is a much better system than my fist clamp on guide. The clamp on to the board section is mostly aluminum. The saw sled is mostly plastic. My only problem was locating the proper tool to get the sled to fit my circular saw. Once that was sorted out it was smooth sailing. This is much more precise than the early model I had. The light weight will also make this tool very portable. That only leaves me looking at the new battery operated saws.

This Bora 50-inch Clamp Edge Saw Guide is a welcome addition to my woodworking tools. I bought a similar small clamp edge type guide many years ago at a woodworking show in Phoenix, but this Bora clamp edge is far superior to that one. First of all, the Bora NGX is 50 inches long, so it can clamp all the way across a 4 x 8 sheet of plywood. (My old clamp edge guide is only 26 inches long, so it has limited use as a saw guide.) The Bora clamp edge aluminum rail is slightly more than 1/2 inch thick, so it is very sturdy.The main rail of the Bora NGX clamp edge is made of extruded aluminum and the clamping mechanism and end stop are made of some kind of sturdy molded thermo-plastic. When released the clamping end slides easily in the double track slots of the aluminum rail. When you get it in position against the edge of your plywood, a simple flick of the T-handle locks the clamp edge in place ready to guide your saw. Bora sells a separate NGX saw plate that can ride on top of the clamp edge rail or you can just allow for your saw’s blade offset and let the saw’s edge be guided by the clamp edge rail.My only complaint (which is a pet peave of mine) is that Bora slapped a UPC sticker on the clamp edge rail where it meets the cardboard packaging (see photo) that was very hard to remove. It took me 15 minutes of soaking the UPC label remnants with WD40 and scrubbing with paper towels to remove the label adhesive without damaging the aluminum rail’s finish. Sterlite, who makes plastic storage boxes, manages to make labels that stick to the product but are very easy to remove without leaving adhesive residue, so why can’t other manufacturer’s follow their lead?

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 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 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 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.

I have used this quite often. The only problem that I had was with the base when I attached my saw I was trying to cut the edge of my countertop which was 1 1/2″. My 7 1/2″ blade wouldn’t cut deep enough to get the whole edge.
