The other day someone on the emc channel asked me how to generate g-code to machine a hemisphere. This simple python program gives the basic idea. If it needs to be perfect, you should compensate for the tool shape (assuming a ball-end tool) by subtracting from the sphere's r, the tool radius * sin(phi), or something like that.
