Here is a quick reference to different types of guide bushings.

Top left: Old style Bosch. Installed by removing the bottom plate of the router.
Bottom left: New Quick change style Bosch. Installed by dropping into place and sliding a lever. Note the quick change adapter with a PC style bushing installed.
Bottom center: Typical Porter Cable base plate with bushing installed.
Bottom near right: PC style bushing.
Bottom far right: Rousseau mounting plate installation bushing. Note the removeable top ring locked in place with an allen screw. Guided by the template with a straight cutting bit installed; removes the main cut out for the router. Removing the top ring reveals a smaller guide used for cutting the lip that supports the plate.
Top right: Typical Craftsman router with guide bushing. Bushing is plastic and held in place with 3 screws.
