The fact the bench top is made up of two spaced 15mm ply doesn't mean you cannot bolt through it.
Make sure the feet have a large diameter foot to help spread the load. A large (slightly larger than the mill base) 5mm thick piece of steel placed between the feet and the bench top will help to distribute the load. Aluminium would probably do.

Dave,

The top piece is made up of 2x15mm ply stick together making 30mm
and the bottom piece another 2.

Would I still need the steel plate between the bench top and the feet bolted onto the mill base? The bench top is not flat. The plate, with the mill on it, will rock. Will I have enough support with the feet on the mill base alone? I'll get a biggest diameter feet available with M8 threads.

Sorry to be a pain clarifying this over again.
