    Yes the enclosure is a good thing to have, the machine and all its electronics are in the enclosure and then I have storage space in the bottom.

    I cut mainly aluminum, plastics, modelling foam and wood, a real mixture really . It can machine steel but I try to avoid it when I can.

    all the ball screws are 1605 from linearmotionbearings and they seam accurate but I can get up to 0.09mm of "backlash" or flex when I push and pull on the machine, but the accuracy/repeatability of actual parts is more like 0.03mm which is really good. I am thinking of upgrading to a branded 20mm screw which should give me a bit more rigidity.
