Made for a 1010, to allow fine adjustment when router is used with the guide rail. All threads are m6, and the long adjuster bolt engages with the existing m6 threaded hole provided for the base support.
A 5mm thick acrylic strip is stuck to the underside of the bar to ensure the router base is horizontal when using the guide rail. If the base support is needed it can be retained in place with the brass clamp nut (labelled 'clamp nut for depth stop' in the photo), if not it can just be left off.
The adjuster has a groove machined on the shank, in which the retainer engages.
The whole thing can be used with the ordinary fence as well, by removing it, turning it upside down and using Hole 2 for the adjuster instead of Hole 1.
Made on a Boxford lathe.

I'd take an OF-1400 version :)

Nice job!  I may steal this idea for making one out of wood for the OF-1400... thanks for sharing, Steve!
