You did not mention if a manual mill or NC, if NC a swivel base would be redundant much like having a compound slide on an NC lathe.
Or just use a fixed vice and clamp it to the table at the desired angle, if the angle is critical to the function of the part you will have to indicate either vice because you can't just use the angle marks on a swivel vice base.
