I can see the need for a copy lathe sort of work, as I have a couple
broken maul and axes that would love new handles. I toyed with the
idea of a router as the cutter on a lathe, but the guy whose lathe it
was would have none of it.

Seems a simple long axis, a router on a shorter axis and an encoder
and you have a copy lathe in short order.

But, unless one can use the sound as feedback to alter the feed rate,
or just wants a one off finish ( I wonder how Bohemian Raposidy would
look on a long shaft) I have not come up with a useful feed or axis
application.

I do like the idea of my Machine saying, Dave, your part is finished
Dave, can I make another part for you Dave?
