offset handle for routers

I thought I have seen a part that attaches to the OF1400 and or 1100 similar to what did in the pic below.
My wood block works fine but If Festool has a solution that is reasonably priced I liked to have it. Does anybody know of a Festool part.

One possible option is guide stop 492601. The main purpose is run on the rail, but could work like counter balance. It's must have accessory. It also goes with support foot.

Second one (more expensive) is base widener 493233

Thanks Victor, the stop block looks like it might work off the rail, I think that's we're I got the idea from.
The festool Jedi video also used another widener with a handle. I guess I'll just keep using my block of wood, the price is right!

If using the guide rail stop block for this just be cautious about the potential for scratching the surface.

You might see extension table with small bore hole for OF-1010 .

In my opinion it's much better, than similar accessory for OF-1400.

That one is great and no scews needed! I think I'm sold on the getting 1010 router this week. This accessory help push me over. I really did not like using the 1400 for flush trimming my cabinets anyway, just really liked the dust collection.
Thanks.
