    So, I want to level this thing. Was thinking of making some kind of leveling feet for it. Do I need to beef up the base? Worried that this will rock all over the place if I put it on stilts.

    Looking at 1" threaded rod and attaching it to the machine at the corners via some 1 1/2"x3" 6061 that I'll tap.

    This isn't a thing? No one does this? Level the table it is on?

    My torsion box table is flat and level. The extrusion is firmly attached to the table so it is built level. No need for feet attached to the machine. My leveling feet are on the floor attached to the base cabinet the torsion box is attached to which is extremely heavy.
