[lastminute]

..........would like to utilise the guide rail with a router and wondered if a homemade adapter is possible?

Can't see why not, a block of wood with a groove in it to fit over the track upstand & two holes drilled at 90 degrees to the groove for the router guide rails & you've basically go a wooden equivalent of the plastic Festool attachment. You'd also need a method of securing the block to the rods but a couple of brass screws would sort that.

I've done something like this. Bought a Festool jigsaw rail base and cut out a perspex plate to attach the router to it.
Works very well with my little T5 but wouldn't be any good for a half inch machine.
