Instructions for Saw Plate / Clamp Edge

Thank you for purchasing the Bora Saw Plate / Rip Guide combo.

We’ve designed these accessories to be easy to use, and produce the precise

results you are looking for.

Every make and model saw is different, with varying features and configurations.

We have designed the saw plate to fit the great majority of them, and it will work

with both right hand and left handed saws. If you find yourself having trouble

installing the plate to your saw, check our website at www.boratool.com for

answers, or call us at 866-588-0395.

Note: Steps 1 and 2 are for using the saw plate and a clamp edge together as a track

piece. If you are not going to run the saw plate on a clamp edge, you may skip to step 3.

1. Loosen the top rail locking bolts and adjust the saw plate’s underbody rail to the width

of your clamp edge. We have included a measurement arrow that shows the width of

your clamp edge, but we recommend using the actual clamp edge for this step.

(Please note that the WTX Clamp Edge Saw Guide is not self-squaring and a square

should be used to insure it is clamped straight)

2. Once your clamp edge is snug, tighten the bolts. You can now remove the clamp edge.

3. Install the spring and clamp as shown. For right hand saws, install on left side, and

vice-versa for left hand saws. Do not fully tighten, as you will want to move / swing

this out of the way for now.

4. Position your saw’s base plate on the Bora saw plate. The majority of the plate will be on

the motor side of your saw. Lift the saw motor to make this step easier.

5. Butt the front of your saw’s plate to the front of the bora plate, and ensure your saw

is square on both the front and the side. Tighten the two front clamps, ideally as far

apart as possible.

6. Position the shorter end of the spring clamp bracket over your saw’s plate as shown,

and tighten the wingnut. If you raised your saw’s motor, you can now lower and lock it

as per your saw’s instructions. Ensure your saw’s blade cover moves unimpeded.

7. Attach the blade guide to front of the Bora plate

(on the blade side, obviously)

and tighten.

8. Your saw plate is now ready to use. We recommend making a test cut on a scrap piece

of wood twice the length of the Bora plate, and slightly backing it out until you can see

the cut. Make a final “left/right” adjustment to the blade guide to this cut (note: the

blade guide can be adjusted to your taste – some people like to use the center as a

guide, others like the left or right pointer as the blade guide.

(Neither is wrong.)
