El Beast - Initial design phase, comments and critique welcomed!

Made one of the screw mounting plates:






Flipped for the rear side, it was previously held down at the near edge too but I removed the front clamp to run the chamfer.




Unfortunately it's way too tall to fit into the CNC for drilling the sides, so I 3D printed another jig and made some drill bushings on the Lathe:






Nice snug fit:




Drilled and tapped:




Assembled:






Fitting to the machine reminded me that I need to flip the nuts on the screws and also showed a small design tweak that's required to then give the nut clearance, other than that though the fit is spot on regarding heights and spacing.
