VL Router Base – SM Handpiece Version (Foredom-Compatible)

This version of the VL Router Base is precision-built for the
SM-branded Foredom-style rotary handpiece, bringing the full
VL modular system to one of the most popular shaft-driven tools in the shop.

The frame is made from carbon fiber-reinforced ASA (ASA-CF),
offering strength, heat resistance, and a lightweight feel. It includes a
weighted baseplate for smooth operation and a
weighted rest to safely hold the tool when a bit is installed.

One key feature: you can swap bits without removing the handpiece.
No teardown. No reset. Just efficient, uninterrupted work.

This version has a personal story. After building the pneumatic version,
Doug Proper asked if I could design one for the SM handpiece.
I bought one just to model it—but when I paired it with the VL base, it felt
right. The control, the balance, the workflow—I ended up buying the system for myself.
This one’s truly special.

The full kit also includes two mounted Olight iMini 2 flashlights for direct, focused lighting,
and maintains the signature VL feature: 1mm-per-rotation height adjustment with a locking knob.
