In the marketplace you'll find two bushing styles. The Porter-Cable two-piece (shown below) uses a screw-on locking ring to hold the tube part to the router base. This style fits a wide range of models. The other style of guide bushing clicks into place, but only fits Bosch routers. If your router doesn't accept these common styles of guide bushings, consider buying adapters and subbases . Guide bushings are sold individually or in sets. Individual bushings cost $6-$8 each, while sets range from $30-$45.

Ranging from 1-3/4 HP to 2-1/4 HP, these routers are the most popular size inthe lineup due to their versatility and ease of operation. Mid-sized routerscan handle a wide variety of operations, which include everything Palm Routerscan do plus large-scale dovetailing, panel cutting, template design work andcircle cutting. These routers will accept 1/4" shank as well as 1/2"shank bits and are often available with multiple bases (see Combination Kitsbelow). It should be noted that the majority of aftermarket router accessoriesare geared to this class of router.
Some routers use a proprietary guide system, while other manufacturers provide adapters or design their base plates to accept commonly available aftermarket guides. To determine whether a particular router accepts aftermarket guides, look at the hole in the base plate. If it has a 1-3/16" through-hole with a 1-3/8" diameter counterbore, it does.
Usually, guides are sold in a set that includes different sizes, but often you can find individually sold ones. Standard aftermarket guides include a ring nut that secures the guide to the base. Some specialty aftermarket base plates allow the use of standard guides with routers having original bases that use a proprietary system.
