ayup. I have a mill-drill as my main drilling machine in the shop. a rotary table is on the list of things I want to find at a yard sale someday....
the big disadvantage of a mill for woodworking seems to be slow spindle speeds.
Get one of these machines from Grizzly:
It'd be a fun toy to have, but I can't justify the expense.
Harbor Freight has a cute little mini-mill I've been considering. It's probably the same as the one Grizzly has: . It's pretty small, but considering that I'm just tinkering and mostly making small toys for kids, it might be good enough for me.
a rotary table is a pain to setup (G) what a hassle to get it right. speed is not a big issue use a hss endmill and just be careful when you exit the side grain that's when you can get blowout. other then that it is not a problem. I don't usually change speed anymore if I am not exiting side grain.

Tip: If your setup allows you to plunge to cutting depth at the exit point, doing so before making the cut that's producing tearout will usually eliminate the tearout problem.
Corollary: If you have tearout at the beginning of a cut, try plunging to your cutting depth with the center of the bit at the edge of the stock.
