You can buy a fancy turning attachment for Chronos or do a quick and dirty by turning down the hex bar to round for the height of the dome, turn a 45 degree chamfer on the end and finish off with a file. I found turning stainless was ok as long as I kept the speed slow. Stainless tends to work harden and forms a skin which wrecks the lathe tool. My Myford doesn't have enough power to take deep cuts to get below the hard skin. So nice and slow prevents the hard skin forming. Same for drilling.
Have fun.
