Bora 530416 QuickCut Circular Saw Guide with Rail & Angle Assist – All-in-One Woodworking Tool, 16" Durable Aluminum, (35.5cm) Guide Rail

Awesome, been using it for years

This has become my go-to circular saw guide for quick cross cuts. No setup time at all and very safe. Lightweight but solid build quality. The straight edge is also good for drawing lines. And the ruler is very handy to quickly doublecheck short lengths without having to pull out the tape measure. I just leave it hanging on a peg for a quick grab and cut. Easy to wipe/shake off dust from the cut. A very practical invention.

I built a large trellis with the Bora tool plus a 20V Porter Cable hand saw. It is extremely helpful and made the project fun and accurate. Love this tool. You must use it with caution, and it is possible to run your circular saw blade onto the tool if you are not careful in your stroke.

I do really like this product. It helps get me a nice straight cut every time. And it makes cutting a lot quicker. The only negative thing I will say is that this product is a lot bigger than I expected. It is difficult and a bit awkward to hold in one hand. Sometimes I have to use a clamp to hold it depending on the angle. Other than that, I would still recommend this to anyone that wants to cut straight edges every time.

Useless. Difficult to set up and change position. It sticks and the metal part scrapes the plastic.

This product is only ok. I’ve used it extensively at this point, and (for me at least) in consistently generates cross cuts that are slightly off square. I think this is due to the fact that it has a grippy rubber contact surface where it is held against the board you are cutting. This means that depending on how you put pressure on the tool, it may deviate slightly from square. Is it bad enough that the cuts are not usable for framing? No. Is it annoying? Yes. Would I buy it again? No.

As described

I read the mixed reviews and decided to try it anyway. Unfortunately, the negative reviews were right. The concept is good, but the execution is poor. The extruded aluminum track is nice, so I give that 5 stars. But the plastic handle is junk, so I give that 1 star. The fit of the plastic handle into the channels of the aluminum track is poor, making the angles inaccurate and the track difficult to adjust. Both the 90 and 45 degree angles were off by half a degree. If I wanted accuracy that bad, I could make my cuts freehand. I do like the aluminum track, so I'm going to keep that and build my own handle from scrap plywood and some aluminum angle I have lying around. But this is the kind of thing that drives me crazy as a mechanical engineer. It wouldn't have been that hard or expensive to make a better, more accurate handle. Now I have to make one myself with free scraps from my shop, and it will work better than the crappy Chinese plastic I just paid for.

La poignée est un peu légère au niveau de la qualité du plastique et lorsqu'on modifie la position de celle-ci sur un autre bord, les rainures ne s'ajustent pas correctement. A voir à l'usage...

Muy práctica y util para quienes no tenemos guias mas caras para sierras y caladoras de mano. Tiene 4 ángulos básicos. LA regla de aluminio muy buena calidad y el plástico tambien. Me ha funcionado muy bien hasta el momento para cortes rápidos.

Excellent to use with skill saw. Makes cutting carcassing and joists so easy.

Super

Works as described, helps make quick cuts. I used it to make 90 and 45 deg cuts so far and it really helped me make fairly accurate cuts - good enough for diy deck build job.
