what’s the big takeaway from previous version
also how does it play into the xcarve?
i have been considering picking one up as of recently.
if a raspberry setup to run the xcarve would this relay have more benefits?
Is this something that can be used to control power to the spindle, x-controller and a dust collector/dust collector? If so, how?
For suction or dust collection:
I think you will either use the MIST or FLOOD outputs from X-Controller or similar… You program this in GCode, or you could use the spindle 0-10v if you don’t have speed control or use a transistor and a cap and have an output 1 (ON) every time the spindle is turned on.
For Spindle Control, you could use the 0-10VDC without a Transistor just set the speed to max speed for every cut and the relay should turn on.

Edited my post with a but more info 
always on outlet and mounting tabs seem to be big difference from previous other than small improvements?
The PWM on the Xcontroller is the same Arduino output as the 0-10V. The 0-10V is simply an amplified version of the same signal.
I could see where if you’re loading down the 0-10V, you could cause an issue with the amplifier in the chain, maybe.
The downside to 1 IOT relay controlling everything is you can’t turn just the vac on or just the router on. I went with 2 IOT relays with one connected to the spindle output and one is connected to M8 (can’t remember if that’s FLOOD or MIST).
Easel supports outputting M7 and M8 commands.
