I'm not sure I understand. If I lower the mill in increments, using
intermediate steps, wouldn't the mill end up sitting on the legs of the
hoist?

Jack up or lever the mill in steps and place wooden supports
to hold it up, higher than the hoists legs. Place the
supports so they clear the legs. Reverse to drop.
