    If it would fit inside the big Siemens CNC you could skim the plates like you did with the bed.
    Or if you had a large flat surface you could turn the frame upside down, the plates would lie on the flat surface than put some epoxy putty on them before setting the frame on top, wait until set before inverting and bolting.
