How to Raise a Vice on a Kneeless Mill?

If you haven't tried there may be some former Enco technicians at MSC that may be of help.
Everything I've read on extensions as has been said here, is that the longer they are, the less stable they become.
 
That style of vise does not have the rigidity required for any serious milling. Adding a stack of hot rolled bars underneath makes the matter worse. With that height a vise above the saddle any looseness in the saddle and cross slide eill be magnified. You have a machine that will never perform well. Sorry.
