Check this out. The chain saw supplies the power to spin the post
while cutting it.

At about 4:30 into the video he shows how he uses a weighted board to
slow the post down so the chainsaw will cut while also spinning the
post.

Makes no sense, does it? The guys got a lathe and could use the normal
tools on the turning post. Also imagine he's constantly sharpening his
chain saw.

Why do you say that he has a lathe?

Did you watch the video? The post is simply mounted between 2 centers
and it's the rotation of the chain saw blade that makes the post
rotate. There is no "lathe motor" turning the post.

Fast forward to about 4:30 and listen to what the guy says.

Nah, I'm not going to look at it again. I get your point.
Think he would be better served to use something else to rotate it and
cut it.
