Bora Portamate has introduced a new power tool edge guide, along with a line of accompanying accessories. At the heart of the NGX system is the Clamp Edge – available in 24, 36, and 50 lengths. This next-generation straightedge is a thicker, more rigid extruded aluminum guide with less deflection than the WTX model it replaces. Another improvement is that the moveable jaw is also the locking jaw, making for quicker, easier set-up.
Add-ons include a Saw Plate for circular saws, a T-square attachment designed to square cuts automatically, and an easy-to-attach 50 extension for ripping full sheets of plywood. The new accessories aren’t compatible with the old WTX Clamp Edge, however, most of the WTX add-ons including the Router and Jigsaw guides and the Track Clamps will work with the new system.
