Microrouter Compact - Part Identification

Hi..

Just got a Microrouter Compact - It came with these 2 tools - Any idea what they are and how you use them? Im guessing one is for setting the tool height, but there's no mention of it in the manual.

they look to be part of the kit for the 'F1 in Schools' system. is there a red anodised frame they will fit fixed to the bed. each but would fix to either end of a block of balsa wood of set dimension. This would be mounted in the frame and machined then using the flats on the square would be rotated 90 or 180 then machined again to make F1 styled racing cars.

Correct They are parts for the old style F1 in schools fixture with black rails.

Many thanks both..

I've not got the other parts, but I can see how it would work.

I'm probably going to run pathpilot on it as auto tool length setting would be great.
