Closed but needs some work

Great idea but takes some getting used to. I thought it would be better, but it will still pop out of the pinch easily. Also a small issue with the clamp guide in the guide as there is nothing to hold on to. It's easier to just use the excellent Bora rail instead of this accessory.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • I'll add later

Cheap and useless - spare parts and accessories for power tools

Bora has to stop producing such devices. The guide for the saw and the guide for the router are garbage too. There are so many companies with great products and ideas for the same money. I tried them because I was impressed with the quality of their mobile bases and seeing the horses. I do not recommend

Pros
  • So far satisfied
Cons
  • Clarity

Good value for money but awkward to use

I like the price because it's affordable... I like the material because it's hard plastic. It's fallen off a few times because my cut is still intact, it's strong... I don't like cutting a circle, my jigsaw gets on the plate. It can cut straight but I had a hard time cutting the circle

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something

Pointless - great idea, poor execution

Cheap plastic that doesn't fit the WTX track and doesn't move even remotely smooth, defeating its purpose. The photos show it is metal but they are misleading. Fits my Bosch jigsaw but that's where the benefit ends. The idea is great, but the implementation is a total failure. It is much easier to use the problematic WTX as an independent guide and to do without this so-called guide.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • expensive

Really nothing for work

The Bora Bahn is very high quality processed. This accessory is not Bora quality for two reasons: 1. When it arrived, the bottom parts that fit in the rail didn't all fit. One was a little thick, probably due to wear on the injection mold. I had to spend an hour cleaning up a small file to fit the track. Bad OK.2. I have a DeWalt cordless jigsaw. Of course I made a record with zero clearance for ripping. But this thin plastic device moves. The tail of the saw can easily swing sideways 1/4 inch.

Pros
  • Doping ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • You could choose a newer model

Works perfectly. When sliding this jigsaw along the guide.

Works great. There's a bit more play/loosening than I'd like when sliding this jigsaw clamp over the front edge of the Bora, but again, it's plastic and inexpensive, but it works well enough to warrant five stars. It's made of plastic so I can't expect extremely tight tolerances as plastic, being a softer material, needs more latitude to move freely. Although the thing works great. This is a fairly accurate guide and I have used it to make many long cuts (6 to 8 feet wide) in sheets of melamine

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • unreliable

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 haveโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great value for money
Cons
  • Lots of accessories
