We installed a Mazak HCN-6800 in our facility a while ago. Currently, the machine is slowly walking across the shop floor.

My goal is to anchor the machine without having to move it. Does anyone have a recommendation?
 
When our HCN680II was installed Mazak had us core 8" dia holes into the foundation where the feet were for the mill and use some type of epoxy to retain the anchor studs that bolt through the leveling screws. I've seen other makers use a toe clamp type anchor but am not sure how effective they would be or if you could even get a hammer drill close enough to the casting to get anchor bolts into the concrete.
 
We are currently looking into building a jig/guide to allow us to drill at an angle. This would allow us to get close to the casting and use toe clamp anchors, however, I am not certain this is our best solution.
