Well, video shows use of Y axis, 3 axis(XZC) cannot cut that part. For your part, you are limited to being able to drill hole only on Y0 position, that means you cannot interpolate hole, tools need to be big enough on diameter to drill and chamfer hole by driving X axis alone.

For the flats, you can only do it in polar mode with tool orientation parallel to Z axis.

You would want to turn only deep enough to clear end mill and take light cuts as you get closer to finish thickness.

Once milling is done you turn the rest of the shaft and cut off.
