    Ok A metal enclosure is best by far just make sure it is big enough 600 x 600 x 200 is popular.

    The star point is where you connect all the cable screens to including the mains in earth.

    Fuses I personally rely on the MCB in the box for the power supply fuse But it does no harm to fuse the smaller PS ie 5V or 24V desperately (good to get din rail type for these)

    Regarding the mill the earth to the mains frame is probably for the electronics in the speed controller that might be on a swivel type mounting. You would be powering (mill) this from a separate 13A plug.
