SF, The Craftsman 26620 router you own is a clone of the Bosch 1617 with two differences. Yours uses the Craftsman style base plate and had the additional hole for above the table height adjustments that the origonal 1617's did not.(Current models do) Never having had the opportunity to compare the bases side by side I am not sure of the differences. Last time I checked my local store had one 26620 left in stock that was missing some parts. I will go today and compare the sub base plates if they still have it. It is possible to modify your mounting plate for an insert ring which would accept the Porter cable or the larger Router Workshop style guide bushings, you will find directions in a couple of postings on the forums. I will post the results of my Sears trip tonight.
