Ratings & Reviews for BORA 50-in Wtx 150-lb Bar Clamp

Easy to use

Works great with or without and special attachments. Simple to attach, grips firmly, and easy to use as a guide for your circular saw.

Great straight edge

Works well. I wish I had this 20 years ago. Would have saved me a lot of time. The only thing I would change is I would like to see the clamps more durable. Seems like flimsy plastic, although they have held up so far.

Good on first try

The only bad thing about this so far is the sliding stop is a little hard to move in order to set the length.

So far so good

Only about a dozen cuts on some 4 X 8 plywood so far, but no complaints. Quicker than my old method of two C-clamps and a 2 X 4.

Not bad

Works okay, you just have to double check to make sure the placement is actually at a square 90. Sometimes it will clamp on tight and will still not be. But other than double checking, still useful and durable.

Great addition to shop

Just cut shelves for a custom hutch I am building for a client. I was a bit apprehensive about this tool from some of the reviews but my hesitation was unfounded. I simply watched a couple of videos on youtube from others who used this piece. Simply put, the clamp stays in place "if" you set it properly. Other reviewers have said it moves after being clamped down, but I think its user error more than product failure. I just used a speed square to align it and clamped it down and ran the saw...

Plywood cutting clamp

When absolutely straight cuts are essential, this is the tool you need!

Very good product

This definitely comes in handy to do very steady cross cuts on sheets of plywood, etc. It holds the line steady and it held the saw in place. I was very happy with the results as I used to clamp a board down, but the boards sometimes does not have a straight edge.

Works as intended.

Has worked good so far. You do need to make sure it is square before cutting.

Why did I wait?

Just the thing to make easy set-up, accurate cross cuts of sheet goods. Next up, I think I'll buy the extension to make rip cuts on 8 ft sheets.

Jaw Clamp

Used it to route straight lines in wood for my bandsaw table. Also used it as a stationary straight edge for my Battery operated saw, great for straight cuts.

Bora 50-in Parallel Jaw clamp

I used this several times to make some cuts in a table top and it worked very well.

Better than expected

The Bora 2.25" Clamp is a really good tool when a clean, straight edge is required. I purchased this tool to facilitate cutting bead board which was used in the construction of kitchen cabinet doors. The tool not only provides a firm straight edge, it also secures the wood to the bench, allowing for a confident cut. I wish I had this years ago.
