Any way to increase a drill press travel

I have a drill press with a 2 inch travel. I went out and got a Craftsman that advertised a 2.5 inch travel (I need 2.5 minimum) but I brought it back cause it really only went 2 inches . Anyway , any attachments or tricks to get a little extra travel out of the press. I already adjust any external stops etc to max. The press is limitred by the internal spindle vertical travel. Right now I drill down 2 inches , left up the table then drill the remaining depth. pain in the but and by moving the table I throw the self centering vise out of wack.
