I have one like this I got from the dump someone set aside.

Thanks, for reference, that's not a hand router. Hand routers are not electric. Look up stanley 71 for a common example.

What you have is standard electric router. There are also compact electric routers (sometimes called trim routers).

Well when I googled hand router only electric came up. Didn't even occur to me there was a non electric version, I assumed it would be all chisel.

Looks cool, but exhausting.

They usually aren't used to remove a bulk of the material. That is done with a chisel usually. They are very good at cleaning up the last surface and sneaking up on a perfect fit.
