I've never had a bench top mill but I'd recommend bolting it down. A fly cutter or boring head or other unbalanced tool could make it slide around. Would hate to see it fall off the bench on you.
You could drill through both layers of the bench, then drill the bottom layer oversize, big enough to reach up on there with a socket to tighten a nut. Use shims to level the base to the bench

Free advice is worth exactly what you payed for it.
