Is this too nuts to consider ?

I want/need to cut a MUCH coarser thread than my lathe is capable of.
Ruminating upon possible solutions to the problem

( when I as younger, I used to THINK about problems, but now ... )

it occurs to me that if I attached a stepper or servo to the lathe
SPINDLE ( somehow ) and suitably configured the "steps per inch"
parameter based upon the diameter of the material, I could cut threads
via CNC !

Certainly, math errors could be a problem and it's unlikely to be
fast, but it SEEMS like it might work .. any comments ?
