Router for Sedimentary Stone

I have to ask: I have watched the factory cut beautiful bullnosing etc , coved table tops etc out of natural stone and always wanted to be able to rout a noce smooth edge on some stone that we work with. The factory uses slow speed water-cooled machines that cost zillions of $$$$.

I was wondering if anybody new of something that stoney's can use in the field...that is portable. An electric router would be suicide mission because they do about 10,000 rpm. I think the big machines run at about 1,800 rpm and use special Italian carbide bits. Is there anything for small guy?.
