I'm sure that a man of your capabilities could make a riser block.  Or buy shorter endmills...

It's nice to know I can always count on you to come up with alternative solutions to a problem Darren.  
Actually I just bought several odd sized collets so I can choke up on more drill bits when I have to because I can't fit my long key-less drill chuck in there. Regarding the mill riser - the mind is still willing, but the body is not. Health issues have really put my mobility in the loo as of late. Light weight projects are the rule these days. 

I have to say I was a bit disappointed that you missed an opportunity to help Jack with a fix for his top speed on his mill. I fully expected you to suggest using bigger end mills and making bigger parts!

I almost bought one of the Grizzly risers that he has (3-4 times), but I didn't want to part with the $300 at the time. When I finally decided to pry open the wallet and spend the money, the risers (along with the mills) were discontinued and long gone.
