Hey Stephen,

I think if I was **really sure** that there will be longer times when I will **NOT** use the machine is realistic (you may change your mind on that, regarding how useful a CNC is and that it works while you do nothing), I would store it on a flippable desing like Jim @JimHatch’s modification of the [Fisher-style table concept](https://fishersshoponline.com/plans/p/fishers-mobile-assembly-table) to accomodate the [48″x32″ Journeyman](https://www.onefinitycnc.com/product-page/onefinity-journeyman) which can be seen under [Lessons Learned for Flip/Fold up/down Tabletop](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/lessons-learned-for-flip-fold-up-down-tabletop/10129/2), or like Joshua’s @RockingMallet [flippable table variant](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/elite-table-builds/18240/4) for the [Elite 48″x32″ Journeyman](https://www.onefinitycnc.com/product-page/elite-journeyman-48-x32-cut-area) or Lee’s @TDE [Fold Down Wall Mounted CNC Table](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/fold-down-wall-mounted-cnc-table/4783).

**In this case** , at every machine shutdown before storage, I would drive the X axis **to the position it will take with gravity** when the machine is powerless and the stepper’s electromagnetic detent is gone, to avoid that it moves after flipping. You may also retrofit [stepper motors with brake](https://www.omc-stepperonline.com/stepper-motor-w-encoder-and-brake) which will ensure the steppers will never move while powered off, or use [Jim’s good ole low-tech method](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/shutdown-on-wallmount/13245/3) to prevent motors from moving with gravity 🙂

However, even if there exist even [flippable table designs with vertical clamping](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/thinking-outside-the-box-table/12553/25), I have never seen **a flippable design with a CNC enclosure**. I belong to those who believe an enclossure is necessary, not only because of dust or noise, but first of all because of safety. **The debris of a broken bit can harm humans and animals severely.** The manufacturer of my spindle, in their spindle manual, makes the use of a CNC enclosure mandatory.

I find [this enclosure concept rather mature](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/the-table-basic/3787/10), see also [here](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/the-table-basic/3787/85) and [here](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/the-table-basic/3787/75) for its integrated dust outlet. I would make it dust-tight and isolated against noise. What this enclosure takes into account and what I find important, is what @cyberreefguru stated in [Cnc Table Hindsight 20/20](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/cnc-table-hindsight-20-20/5965):
