We drill a 1/4" hole and then tap a small hole in the side so we can set-screw the encoder in. I've seen too many encoders that were slipping when we thought they weren't to risk it anymore...
Be careful zip-tieing the wire down. I've seen cases where there was added backlash due to the wire moving when changing directions. We now always make a small lexan bracket and use that to secure the encoder rotationally. It couples the high frequency information in much better.
