bbl crowning
For a simple crowning tool, you might want to consider an old fashioned crowning ball. These will fit in your Dremel and should be used as a lapping tool with grit and oil and are made of brass. Or, if you can't find one, a round ball mounted stone. The ball should be twice the size of the bore as you don't want to round off the edges of the lands, that is you don't want to taper the lands. Finish off by hand, actually finger, working abrasive cloth into the new crown.
