I agree that working with a round-over bit is asking for trouble.
In a hardware store, I saw a drill grinder attachment which had a

I was thinking of installing this on a lathe if that's what it takes.

I suppose that they had some sort of lathe which would hold the base

Skilled woodturner with a skew chisel who did nothing
but turn bats all day.

More likely a robot programed to turn bats.

Yea, if you define a CNC lathe as a robot - rough turning 90 seconds.
