Aluminum is good. Enclosures are also made of fiberglass. I would not make one out of a wood product due to the fire danger. I guess you could make one out of polycarbonate (Lexan), but steel might be cheaper.
I am looking to make a new, larger electrical enclosure for m cnc. I am thinking sheet metal based on what I have seen used. Any material suggestions other than sheet metal or is that still the est option due to heat, duraility etc? Thanks
