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 :-/

Consistent within a dowel? Or between dowels?

A corded drill and a vise is basically a lathe.

Consistent rounding across all the dowels.
Lacking a lathe I also lack lathe tools, but I could use a rasp or maybe a bench chisel.
