But now there is no way to refit the swarf tray - or haven't you got
one?

I suggest that you add pads, say 6 X 6 X 1/2" steel, spot drilled for
your leveling bolts. The way your photos show it you have the machine
bearing only on the 1 inch bolts. A bit of vibration and I guarantee
that one or the other of those bolts will abrade their way into the
floor and ruin your careful leveling.
It also helps to place a layer of something between the bottom of the
pad and the floor th ensure that the pad bears evenly on the floor,
i.e., doesn't just hit the high spots, as it were.
