I did wood and metal work in the same shop for years, finally have separate shops. My biggest complaint was dust from grinding and sanding metal getting on the wood and marking it. I don't think wood shavings are particularly abrasive, can't see them causing much of a wear issue, might even hold oil on the machined surfaces and prevent wear.
I don't use the mill a lot for wood but its hard to beat for some operations.
Making a Queen Ann leg for a dresser.
Making the runners for table wings.
I do use the mill a lot for building router templates out of plexiglass when making stairs or hinge recesses. I have brass guides that fit the router bases, they run along the edge of the templates.
Hard to beat the Hardinge for precision wood turning.
