EMC Thread Cutting?

Is it a practical possibility to use a closed loop EMC system to
accurately cut threads by putting a rotary encoder on the lathe
spindle and feeding that info to the X axis stepper motor controller.
I would think that the feed rate and spindle speed should approximate
that needed to cut the desired thread and then the exact calculated
numbers loaded into the machine .ini; but then it should work; no?
