I recently sold my small lathe (7"x12") and a mini-mill. I have a
couple prototypes I need to whip out for a project I am working on. I
will need to machine some parts as small as 1/2" and several pieces of
12" x 12' x15". Obviously it would be impossible to do a large job on
a small mill. However is a large mill capable of doing small jobs with
accuracy?

It can make parts of any size to whatever accuracy it's capable of in
small regions, which is almost certainly better than the accuracy
it's capable of over full travel range.

I routinely make parts considerably smaller than 1/2" on my
Bridgeport, and on my 15" lathe.
