Now, if I dismiss any notion of "high RPM" I can visualize a tool
post moving back and forth in sync with the normal spindle
(non moving [not precluding the rotation of the spindle]) computer controlled
to to trace the desired path on the part, over and over as
the carriage feeds along the bed. Power tooling would be needed for shapes
which preclude the use of the standard cutter and careful
speed control of spindle rotation would have to be programmed in at abrupt
changes in direction.

Bill,

I thin what you are visualizing is a CNC mill turning a part with a 4th
axis rotary table and tail stock.
