| I built a simple relay board to control my Rotozip/spindle. I designed the board in CAD and then CAM/Cambam. The relay comes on in Mach3 at the start of the Gcode with M03 command. The relay goes off at the end of the Gcode with M05 command. I mounted the board inside a plastic AC box with a double AC plug receptacle. My Rotozip/spindle is plugged into the receptacle box. It is nice to be able to walk away from the CNC machine and have it shut the Rotozip off after it is done machining. I did a small design change that is not pictured above. I added a PC board screw terminal to the Port pin end of the board. You can insert wires and then screw them down tight for a faster connection to the board. | |

| This is the circuit I used. It uses a FET that can turn on a relay, which turns on my Rotozip. The FET gate is voltage controlled. The printer port goes high or low to trigger the FET gate. Mach3 controls the printer port pins in response to Gcode instructions. The relay contact points are rated for 10 amps @125vac. My Rotozip is 5.5 amps. | |
