Long sleeves aren't recommended around spinning equipment, so it pays to make up some kind of polycarbonate shield that you can attach to the head of the mill so that it stays between the bit and you. A magnetic stand for a dial indicator is usually the most versatile for this purpose.

What if your table goes up and down?

That’s what averages are for! Elbow height is a convenient measurement for a lot of tools.
