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.


I tried the round cut lathe bit first. Cutting the bit was a challenge, but
I eventually got one sorta-kinda radius shaped. A drop of Tap Magic on the
cuter about every third pin and they cut fast. Took longer to swap pins in
the chuck than to cut the radius.
