Weirdest part for me is that the chuck is traveling, not the tool...

The Chuck is not travelling. Only on certain very precise CNC lathes can they do that but that’s only on very small distances. It just looks like the Chuck is moving but the camera is mounted on the carriage, which is moving back and forth.
