    Spherical tip for machine screw

    I need a 'ball end' on a close-to 1" long x 10-32 machine screw. I've seen some machine screws with rotating ball tips, metal and/or nylon, but I'm going to have to adjust the length of this screw to a non-standard size. Is there a way to put a ball-like shape - it doesn't have to be a full hemisphere - on the end of a machine screw?

    TIA

    Either program your CNC lathe or grind a form cutter to do it.
