I am upgrading my router to a similar corded router on my Genmitsu-4040 Pro. I'm a complete dummy at wiring and electricity and I cannot find a good walkthrough. Do I need to mess with the black box on the back of my X-rail? (Black box says - Probe/Airlaser/ spindle /x-y cable)
Don't know what SSR you used but typically you don't want to use a SSR on a reactive load like a router. An SSR used with an inductive load can accidentally fire due to a high load voltage rise rate (dv/dt) unless it's designed to do so with a snubber circuit etc. A SSR is really only advantageous if the load is switching at a high frequency like a resistive load on a PID controller.
Don't mean any disrespect. Not saying it won't work. Just saying that it could be an issue depending on the SSR and that there's really no advantage to using this over a standard relay. The duty cycle is so low the relay contacts will last forever. Automation controls is my daily gig and we don't use SSR's to control inductive or capacitive loads. Glad it's working for you though.
@@RandyG-m9k It is one that was recommended to me. I bought it through Amazon. I really don’t know the difference between one or another. I know how to hook them up, but I really couldn’t give you any details other than it’s just an AC DC relay. It uses a DC voltage to activate it at 24 V and it switches over the AC side to operate the router that’s about as far as my intelligence goes lol

Not exactly sure what you’re talking about but I’ve been using it almost every day for hours at a time and have not had any issues
