Raising it up I think is the better plan. Some of my HBM's controls are really low too.

That's a really sweet mill

Steel blocks! On top of steel plates so it doesn't punch through or vibrate

If it would not make it really inconvenient to operate, I would raise it up as opposed to drilling the hole.

I'm surprised none of your other old machines have required you to cut a hole. Old horizontal mills and shapers are especially bad about needing a hole for the z axis.
