I was very seriously thinking about a machine like that, but with the rotary positioned at an angle. and an extra linear axis. We are waiting for the customer to make up his mind.
All problems I saw was kinematics which as you said are not all that involved. And perhaps some python script to massage the output of the CAM package. Mainly since the feedrate depends very much on the cutter tip distance from the centerline of the rotary axis. In my case the cutter might even pass the centerline of the workpiece. But all that is only maths in the end. Have fun j.
