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 :-/

A 1/2" dowel might fit in the shank of a standard hand drill... If so, I'd use the dowel in the hand drill and would round off the other end against a belt or oscillating sander, basically.
