BORA 5 Piece NGX Clamp Edge Panel Cutting Kit

Great clamping straight edge

I bought this on Saturday and used it yesterday to route juice grooves in my cutting board. It did well and made it a lot easier to route a straight line. The one groove was at an angle but i didnt have the board even and had it on the round part of my router plate. Its going to make cutting plywood sheets easier for my shelves since i cant cut a straight line. Definetly a buy if you want something more flexible than a tracksaw and cheaper. It clamps down from the underside and its made of pla...

Gap between the two rail pieces

The issue that I have with this larger, 96" edge is the the two pieces are held together by a clamp that puts a round locking bolt up through a hole in the track. when I clamp the to the edge of the wood a gap appears between the two pieces of track. it is several 16ths of an inch wide.

Rigid 8-Foot Track for Breaking Down Plywood

Rigid extruded aluminum profile doesn't bow in the middle when breaking down full 4x8 plywood sheets with a circular saw. The clamping handle locks securely on the far edge without having to walk around the table to adjust both ends. Joint connection between the two 50-inch sections stays straight and flush as long as you snug the set screws firmly. Much easier and safer than wrestling full sheets onto a table saw solo.

Diy time saver

This item saved alot of time! Every cut was straight!

Poor quality and terrible design

There are 4 pointless screws on the "quick clamp" that links the two halves together. These screws are not mentioned in the directions on connecting the halves, but you must remove them to make the guide the full 96 inches. The problem is that the screws seem to be made of butter. I destroyed 3 of the 4 trying to loosen them. They're not coming out now. So, I'm stuck with a 48 inch guide all because of some pointless screws. On top of that, even as a 48 inch guide, the locking mechanism is so po...

Disappointing

This clamp does not hold well enough on 3/4 inch plywood to consider using it as a guide for a router. It is too easy to push it out of alignment with the router. It's also problematic to use on a table are large surface, since the clamps are about 7/8 inch wide, so it cannot get flat against the wood. You end up with a slight gap which would be disastrous with a circular saw. I found this clam disappointing. I ended up nailing a straight piece of wood to the plywood with two nails and used...

Easy to use and straight cut!

This is easy to assemble and to adjust the length. Grips/clamps well and gives me a perfect edge for a straight cut. Great product!

Ok not great

Seems well put together. As a 48” it’s great. However then you add the extension the locking mechanism does not hold firm so when you slap it the center section pulls apart. Need some improvement

Great substitute for a table saw

great for long straight cuts, easy and fast

Quality straight edge

I picked up the 96-in NGX 160-lb Edge Clamp and it worked exactly as I hoped it would. It set up quickly, held everything firmly in place, and made cutting large sheets and oversized boards much easier. I was able to get straight, precise cuts without any hassle. Overall it met my expectations and feels like a solid, reliable tool for anyone working with big panels. One thing I didn’t like is that when using only half of the straight edge to cut material under 48 inches, there’s no temporary sto...
