Alternately, make a wedge at this angle ...
I digress.
I did use the basic LN guide with my RIs ..
It works well enough but this is not a perfect idea since there is the risk of lifting the chisel if you apply too much downforce (which is the risk of all side clamping guides with tall chisel sides). The Eclipse is in the same boat.
Here is my idea for the LN guide plus mortice accessory: add spacers under the screws to lift the front 3mm and the rear 6mm.
Give it a try and report back. Also, which mortice chisels (and sizes) are you using?
