Then used the old rod-in-the-center-hole trick to shape off the tops - with the part held down onto a piece of thin rod stock (shank of a drill works too) and the vise tightened down, a pass is made with the mill to cut the top of the arc. Then loosen the vise, turn the part a bit, tighten, and repeat the cut. It only takes 4 or 5 cuts on each side to form the arc, with the rod ensuring that the part is kept at the right height.
