GenmitsuiMaticBox Relay Module Switch for CNC Router Machines, 12 VDC Smart PWM Signal Control Relay Switch for Connecting Routers, Lasers, and Dust Collector

It is easy to set up and does what it is supposed to do. If you have done a spindle upgrade to a pocket router, this is a must have. I do wish there was a 2 second delay between the two sockets, so that the router and the vacuum don't start at the exact same moment. It can be quite a power surge. I have probably done 40 jobs with the new setup, and only one time did that pop the breaker. Fortunately I was able to recover the job. You just take the cable that used to go to the spindle, and plug it and the router and vacuum into the relay. It really is as simple as that.

My switch box was 9 months old. The red on/ off switch on the back of the box overheated and caused the unit to stop working. I contacted sainsmart by email and they sent me a new replacement unit and it arrived within a week. Very good customer service

Not fully tested at the factory. Flips PWM and positive power wiring to the laser, laser worked fine connected directly to the control box. No mention in the instructions about having to have the spindle RPM ~max to get it to trigger.

This box allows the CNC controller to turn your upgraded trim router or spindle on and off. I has an extra receptacle for integrating your vacuum system or other accessory. Works perfectly for me.

Hooked this up to my Foxalien Masuter 3 CNC with a Foxalien router and a small shop vac. Everything works perfectly. Less expensive than other models and does the job.

This box doesn’t work with the stock spindle that came with the machine. It’s only compatible with spindles or trim routers that can be powered from this box’s outlet. If you want to use a vacuum/dust collector with this box, you’ll also need to replace your spindle. The stock spindle won’t work. The reason is that you have to switch the controller box to laser mode, which disables the stock spindle. To use the stock spindle, I was advised to purchase the Fox Alien version of the relay box, which allows you to use the stock spindle or a spindle/trim router from the outlet.

This power relay is super improvement to my CNC setup. Now, when the program starts, my dust management system comes online automatically. The smart switch is something I wish I had when I first set things up. I haven't decided what to use the other outlet for yet, but I'm sure I will.Installation only take about a minute - and most of that is deciding where you want to mount it.Highly recommended.

The cable needed to make this work is not included and can’t be found on any website including sainsmart this is falsely advertised as being compatible with the 6050 plus but the cable needed cannot be found anywhere which makes it incompatible.
