Roy Underhill would call this an alcohol powered router. He would also point out that the motor automatically detects contact with human flesh.
It wasn't mentioned in the article so I assume it isn't available; I'm surprised Veritas is not offering this in a left handed version.

This item cuts close to the bone. People are trying to make fun of me and I'm not buying!

Seems like a three handed tool...I only got 2. For instance, precision routing inlays.
Would be nice to see on video...different applications.
Otherwise, beautifully made!

Thank you Charlie, for posting this.
Yesterday I was searching for it, but couldn't find it. A couple of times I hoped to have found the newest April fool's joke, but nope, every time it was something you can actually buy!

Just what I need! My router is the loudest and messiest tool in my shop. <g>
By the way, search "AFD" in the search box for past year's special tools.
