If you needed to put a hemisperical end on a bunch of 1/4" stainless
dowels how would you tackle it? Say 400, give or take.


My take....

Accuracy / finish?

Stick the dowels in a battery drill & do them on a linishing belt. If needed
make a jig / mechanism to assist in getting a nice hemispherical end on
them.
