Yes it will have Ground plate cast into it for rails along with mounting areas for ballscrew mounts etc.
Not sure I've seen the French Dude's machine so not sure what pads you mean.? But yes it will have areas relieved for clearance etc and mounting plates, Tapered dowels & sockets for locating and fixing etc.

I'm thinking to make it sectional and bolt together for simplicity of casting and practicality's of moving. That much epoxy granite cast in one go will create hell of a lot of heat and be handful to handle in one go so for a first attempt I'm going to play it safe I think.

When I know more what's involved then I'll look to cast in one mould.??
