Review on πŸ”ͺ WTX or NGX Clamp Edge Jigsaw Guide: The Ultimate Tool for Straight Cuts and Steady Jigsaw Guiding -542009 by Mufti Carter

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Much better than a regular rip guide.

Unlike a circular saw attachment (which you'll have to dedicate your saw to if you don't like fumbling with awkwardly placed set screws), this little attachment couldn't be more handy. It's more of a carriage than a jig: the saw snaps into place and you hold it there while the carriage moves up the path, making a perfectly straight cut. Keep in mind that you'll need about three inches of hard material to the left (and only to the left) of the cut to support the clip. And if you don't have anything to support the back of the cut, you need to be careful to keep the blade upright to avoid chamfering the cut. And the Bora clamp is NOT self-aligning, so you'll need some effort to straighten the incision. But if, like me, you can't keep a jigsaw in a straight line (even with a standard saw guide) and are too lazy to lug your table saw around the house, then this little sled (especially if you already have clamps) is worthwhile. .

Pros
  • Great value for money
Cons
  • Lots of accessories
