Enclosure

Loving that new or old CNC router you have but wish you could care for it a little better? How about an Enclosure to protect your machine from the elements and your ears from that horrible grinding noise that is DEFINITELY not a problem!

Enclosures help to protect your workshop and machine from elemental damage like particulate, temperature and UV light, as well as dampening the sound generated by your machine.

Enclosures are made specifically to fit our Machine Tables, but can also very easily be mounted to a table top or bench. Machine Tables fit our CNC Routers perfectly, however the motors protrude past the footprint of the enclosure.

If you plan to enclose a CNC Router

You will need an enclosure one size larger to fit most machines. See the table below for correct enclosure pairing.

Enclosures are made specifically to fit our Machine Tables, but can also very easily be mounted to a table top or bench. Machine Tables fit our CNC Routers perfectly, however on a CNC Machine the motors protrude past the footprint of an enclosure of the same size.

For example, a 1000x1000mm WorkBee V3 Y-Axis Gear Rack system has a total frame width including stepper motors of approximately 1250mm, so a 1000x1000mm enclosure will not fit the machine. A 1500x1500mm enclosure is required.

Machine Size (mm)	Table Size (mm) – If not installing an enclosure	Table + Enclosure (mm) – If installing an enclosure
600×600	600×600	750×750
750×750	1000×1000	1000×1000
1000×1000	1000×1000	1500×1500
1000×1500	1000×1500	1500×2000
1500×1500	1500×1500	2000×2000

Adding doors to your enclosure:

We have three different options for doors that can be installed onto the enclosure. When selecting the doors, think about the application you are using the enclosure for. If you are using the enclosure with a CNC Router we recommend having doors on at least two sides (Front and Left or Right). If you are using the enclosure with a 3D Printer one door is generally sufficient. If you are using the enclosure to house equipment or protect something fragile, one door is generally sufficient.

The modular nature of our Modular Enclosures means that you can always add doors, or remove them, easily and quickly later with just a few turns of an Allen key.

Standard Door

Standard Doors are the idea solution for CNC Routers, 3D Printers and other dirty equipment. Simple and effective in design, they are a good all round option.

Bifold Door

Bifold Doors are our recommended choice for both looks and space saving, especially if the enclosure is used as a display. A single Bifold door comes with two folding frames and a double set of hardware.

Awning Door

Awning Doors are the perfect option for a laser machine. Put laser protective acrylic in this door to protect your eyes when using diode lasers by blocking the stray laser radiation reflections.

Pro Tip: Install gas struts to this door to hold it up.

Select a colour and either Standard, Bifold or Awning doors for each side of your enclosure. We suggest at least two sides with doors for easy access to your machine or equipment.
