A hand router has a housing (12) and a tool (22) situated in the housing in a rotary drivable fashion, which it is possible to operate in the intended manner by means of a suction air flow, in particular by means of a vacuum cleaner. The hand router is particularly powerful because a radial turbine wheel (32) equipped with intake and outlet gratings (44, 48) is used as the drive. The housing (12) is made up of tube-like sections (13, 14, 15), in particular that can be grasped by an operating hand, which it is possible to connect with one another by means of flanges (36, 38).
