Default Can a big mill do small parts?

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?
