Not as shown, because the bevel gear you are proposing has an angled face. In the video the tool is perpendicular to the teeth. To use a process like this, you'd need to elevate the workpiece at a precise angle, then turn it a precise arc for each tooth - i.e. have the tool perpendicular to the tooth root.
A spiral bevel gear would work OK (duh - they did it!), maybe better, with just a small extra effort in design. But you'd likely have to cut both gears yourself.
