How would you neatly and consistently round over the ends of dozens of 1/2" dowels? (lemmy.world)

Doing it by hand with sandpaper is a nonstarter.
Also I don't have a lathe :-/

Yes - I have a router table and something like this is what I'm thinking now. I can drill a 1/2" hole in a block and stick the dowel through the hole to keep it secure. I can rout the end of a full-length dowel, then cut it off to size, then rout the remainder, etc.
