From the amount of writing above, this seems complete overkill for
something as simple as a chip-tray... which is why I'm asking for some
feedback.

Typical chip trays are thin material, interposed between the
legs (or base) and the actual machine tool. They're so flexible
they don't apply any force to speak of to upset the machine
alignment. Think 'extra large cookie sheet.'
