eBay is full of those:

or similar tiny carbide end mills.

My question is how usable are they on a hobby sized CNC machine like
my Bridgeport Interact, with slow top speed. Is using them totally out
of question, or just frustrating, or perhaps they are handly for small
work?

I got a bunch of Gunner's drills a while back. they have served me
well. I know i should install the spindle speeder, but I normally
don't and just use a very low feed. They are easy to break, but very
cheap so not much bother.
