I would use pattern finishing. Create 2 curves, one that is straight down for roughing ( create multiple copies to use as your stepover) and another getting the section curve of the geometry and using that as your final pass and calling the edge of your lathe insert as X0 Y0 Z0

I would do it that way as well.

 

You could also get the cad model of your lathe tool and import it, then set it to ignore the surfaces 

and then you will be able to have a good visual that what you are doing is correct.

 

Also if you get the correct model you could set your datum off the top and side and point of the lathe tool .

In the past, I had a similar project, and the approach I took was as follows: 

 

In Powermill, the static model represents your cutting blade. Your machined product acts as a form tool with the desired shape (in my case, I needed to create a specific contour in the machined part). 

 

In Powermill, draw a horizontal pattern line starting from the edge of the static blade. Then, utilize the "Pattern Finishing" strategy with the "drop" option enabled. This will calculate the toolpath, starting from the center of the rotating part, intersecting with the blade's edge, and dropping down to contour around it. You can set the Z minimum by simply limiting it with block limiting. As it descends, it will machine the desired shape for the rotating part, following the form tool's shape. 

 

Now, with just one finishing toolpath line, you can clone this toolpath and adjust the thickness to create multiple passes.
