BORA544002 T-Square Attachment, NGX Clamp Edge Accessory, Circular Saw Guide, Keeps Plywood Cuts Straight and Parallel

nice and sturdy

,

Simple, easy to use, helpful, accurate t-square.Ignore reviews about how it makes the track roll over. The attachment comes with a plastic tab accessory that is designed to keep the square upright on the work surface so you can still cut past it with your saw.Only real drawback is it is kind of a pain to add/remove from the track.

The perfect addition.

Easy to attach and use. However, it shipped without the support finger which holds the piece in place when it the L position. In that position without it the entire square is useless. I contacted the manufacturer, they shipped missing part.

So I have tried using this add on to the excellent NGX for over a 18 months now, on and off. I keep going back to it, wasting my time and putting it back on the shelf. I should just throw it in the trash.The design is flawed. When you are trying to use an NGX as a tracksaw obviously you need this add-on configured as a letter L, not as a letter T (otherwise you will be trying to cut through the aluminum of the add-on). In such a configuration there is no way to clamp and be sure it truly is at exactly 90 degrees. Without pulling out a speed square or similar square.... Thus defeating the whole purpose of this add-on.Bora this needs rethinking. It is not fit for purpose, I have 3 different length NGX guides and use them several times a week and they are great. Thank you!

I use this for cutting large sheet goods along with NGX clamp edge. Works very well and is accurate. clamping on both sides make it very secure. Does not flex or give as I'm cutting and cuts and straight and accurate.

I'm guessing it's good for *something*. I'm just not sure what.I bought the Bora NGX 50" clamp & saw guide to use as an inexpensive track saw,so I could cut down 4x8 panels at the yard into 4x4 sections that would fit in thevan. So far, so good. That combination works pretty darn well.The cool thing about the NGX clamp, too, is that it adjusts from the clamp side,rather than from the opposite side, like the previous version--which would havehad me walking back and forth from one side of a panel to the other.I thought that adding the T-square would let me set a mark on one side, set theclamp, and I would be good to go. Wrong!The issues I ran into:1) When the clamp isn't attached in the MIDDLE of the T-square, it's difficult toensure that the T-square is fully engaged on the other side. (I found out tomy chagrin that it is all too easy for the T-square to be OUT of alignment, whena lot of it is projecting out to one side.2) THINKING the T-square was aligned on the other side of the panel gave me afalse sense of security. I cut a good 1" to one side of the line at the other end.That may be something I can work around, or it may send me back for anotherhalf panel. Time will tell.)The moral: You MUST mark both sides of the panel, and position the clamprelative to those marks. So the T-square buys you nothing, for that purpose.3) Using it as track saw, of course, you WANT the T-square to be offset, so thereis room for the saw blade to pass without going through it.4) I thought I would be able to use the edge of the T-Square as a guide, so I couldset that edge of the clamp easily. Wrong again!5) The edge of the aluminum T-Square has a plastic piece that extends beyond thealuminum extrusion. That's not terrible, by itself. But because of the way theT-square attaches to the clamp, that edge is a good 3/4 of an inch or so awayfrom the edge of the panel, making it harder to line up.6) An even bigger problem is the fact that it is impossible to line up the T-squareprecisely with the edge of the saw blade--because the locking mechanism has to bepulled UP to loosen the connection, which means you CAN'T have the saw-guide andsaw in place while the connection is loose enough to slide. You have to choose one.You can either adjust the position of the T-square, or have the saw in place on it.You can't do both.7) Finally, I'll note that for my first use, I didn't put the edge strip on the NGX clamp.Big mistake! You don't really need it for tear-out, but you DO need it to align theclamp with your marks. It is just really hard to align the clamp with the saw on it,get both sides right, AND clamp it down when you've got it right.
