    Re: Issues wiring up 12 volt relay to fire a cutmaster 52

    Output 1,2 on the g540 are open grounds, i think so when its active it closes the ground to make a connection.

    Many(most) solid state relays contain an SCR or thyristor to switch the load - these are ONLY good for switching an AC source voltage into a load. (think AC outlet and light bulb here!) I wouldn't even attempt to make this work for this purpose. While some SSRs use MOSFETs and can switch a DC load I'd avoid those also. What you really need is a honest-to-goodness switch closure here - and a mechanical relay is the only way to get that reliably!

    If you are fortunate enough to have the detailed schematic for your cutter - I could recommend an optoisolated circuit that would work if you really want to go the solid state route. As for me - I have a friend's Harbor Freight 95136 and those details are completely missing from the manual, web, etc.

    In general, forget the SSR!

    I was trying to use an SSR to turn on a Router. The G540 did not like it.
