Willofiam,
It looks like you hit the jackpot. As far as getting your lathe to do the same task, additional tooling is required and it is virtually impossible to find. Bob showed some of this tooling in his learn to turn video. I was lucky to buy some about a year ago when a Wolf Jahn set of turns came up for sale on Ebay. It came in a wooden case as a set with the Wolf Jahn turns, a whole bunch of runners and all of the tail stock tools. The really neat thing about the set is all of the tools will also fit a Wolf Jahn lathe. This was one of those things that seems to come up for sale about once every 20 years. It was expensive.
