Bora 36" NGX Clamp Edge | Straight Cut Guide for Circular Saws | 36" Cutting Length | 544036

all good

The locking system is misfunctioning...

These are terrible in many ways. 1. The locking mechanism makes me very angry. You might assume you can just slide it to the wood and clamp, but this is a lie. If you dont want the flimsy body to flex and leave a gap, you have to slide it to about 1/8in from the wood. Once locked, you cannot slide it again by unclamping, you have to take both hands and undo a separate lock (which is very loud and inconvenient). Not easy to use at all. 2. Not straight. At a bare minimum, straight edges must be straight. This one is off by about 1/16in. 3. Not low-profile. The clamp requires lots of space underneath to close, which makes it useless for many use cases, unless you use sawhorses rather than a table. 4. Bad finish. My plastic router guide scratched the finish on first use. Pathetic. 5. Impossible to square. Because of the crappy clamp mechanism mentioned earlier, it always throws itself out of square, and you cannot nudge it because it is now clamped.

Sliding clamp can get stuck at times if you don't proper push in the padded part before adjusting. Very minor issue relative to how much it helps me cut straight as I am not an experienced wood worker. However I am a little more inspired to try other projects now that I have this tool to help me. The real test will be this coming week when I attempt to cut my own butcherblock counter tops. Wish me luck!!

I'm very excited that I'll never have to use a clamped straight piece of wood or other straight edge again when using my circular saw. This is a very well made product!
