As the asker points out, it could be some other arc. If this is important, then rounded to an arc of circle.

rounded off along a circular arc


Explanation:
This sounds like a straightforward description of the shape of some tool although an uncommon usage.

rounded


Explanation:
"по дуге окружности" - это уже избыточность, как ещё можно "закруглить"?

Вот даже и Multitran:

автом. закруглённый (напр. о вершине инструмента)

Дима, во-первых, клин вряд ли будут морочиться точить под эллипс, во-вторых, он "оКРУГленный", правильно?

Дима, это если не круглая форма и модель, то говорят о сглаживании по форме или придании такой-то (эллиптической) формы. Но "закруглить по дуге эллипса", по-моему, нельзя, то круг, а то эллипс.

Ну и, наконец, с такой ерундой, как клин, - там вряд ли будут сложными профилями затачивать, закруглят с каким-нибудь радиусом - и то хорошо.

Asker: А если elliptically rounded?

Asker: У меня речь идёт о математической модели, а не реальном клине


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Jack Doughty: I see you said more or less the same in Russian as I did in English. Yes, "with a rounded tip", or "with the tip rounded off", both are possible.

  -> yes, what I mean is that "following a circular arc" is an obvious pleonasm, because we already have "rounded" due to "округленный" coming from "круг", circle.
agree  Dorene Cornwell: making the translation more concise than the original. I think rounded is sufficient. If one knows the rouding is elliptical, I suppose one could say elliptically shaped.
