Turning a HAAS Mill into a gang tool cnc lathe

Has been done many times on a manual mill, quite limited as you cannot do longer pieces. But you can do very small pieces quite well - usually mills have higher RPM limit then lathes so you can do small pieces at high speed. Also collet holders for lather are not as common as for a mill.
