John,
I don't think Monarch actually made a spherical cutting attachment for the 10ee.
Holdrige would probably be your best bet.
Do a Google search, there are a lot of different options available.
Good luck.

I think Monarch did, or at least made a prototype. From a 1957 brochure:
But I've never seen one in the wild.
The Holdridge 3 is the right size for the 10EE with the normal compound.
This video has what's looks to be a genuine Monarch attachment, based on the catalog photos shown.

Were the dovetails on the far side of the cross slide an option or standard after a particular year?
That Monarch accessory was on center. It's rotational axis was horizontal at a right angle to the spindle.
1) There is no significance in your vernacular vertical or horizontal orientation of the axis of rotation of the sweeping cutter. It would do fine at 45 degrees from horizontal or at any other orientation as long as it's at an exact right angle to the spindle and on exactly on center.
2) You're on point, that tool nor can any other can make a hemispherical groove, they don't exist. However a generated radius bottom groove into a work piece is another story. That Monarch accessory can't do that without modification.
No one would do such work today in a profit driven situation with real competition.
Ok so now we all will want to know details - where did you find it? Ballpark on what you paid?
Post a video when you use it - seems like you may be the only one on the list with one of these.
