Rigidity and registration of the various pieces w respect to each other? (There seems to be lots of bolting sites on that block.) Also really there are very large and most likely heavy parts of the machine that rest on this thing and require a similarly sturdy base.

Surprising how it looks a bit like a huge ship diesel crank case. Even if it's kind of the opposite technologically.

Looks like a huge chunk of aluminium.
