Tiny screw fell out of my 1400 router

[fishblimp]

After running a pass with my 1400, I set it down and noticed a tiny screw had managed to settle/fall onto my MFT table. I cannot identify where it might've come from [eek]. I've inspected all visible areas that would allow a screw.

My setup at the time was:
• 1400
• dust collection adapater
• guide rail adapter
• guide rods

Does anyone happen to know where this might've come from or how I might find out? The "exploded view" technical drawing for the 1400 was no help.

well here is are a couple of images of the bottom of my older OF1400.  Maybe this will help.

This is a cheap chinese furniture (?) screw. It does not belong to the router 1400.

It's very possible that it was from a previous item that I'd used the MFT as a surface for (though I don't remember what item that might've been). I considered this scenario but thought that the odds were incredible that the little screw would remain on the table surface given all the holes on the MFT + me sliding things around.

Post a picture of the head. Festool screws are distinctive, especially those used in the routers.
