There are many forms of bar pullers. Some have grippers that are driven by coolant pressure and cost plenty. But there are simple spring pullers that are for one size of bar only. They look like a socket from a socket wrench. Used these on my Omniturn for years. You could easily make your own spring puller for any size bars. It has some little teeth to grip the bar. You just push it on, pull the bar, lock the collet, and pull it off. The commercial one are probably heat heat treated steel. Put it in your tool bar. We also used a bar feeder and now a bar loader. Of course this works for bars that fit through the spindle.
I ended up getting the Dunham puller. It works great, I'll make a video soon showing using it. I wish I had the space for a bar feeder here, or even just a outboard support so I can do 36" or longer bars.
Love the Omniturns, some day hope to run one. Now I'm going out in the youtubivers to find a luthier video channel that features a trombone sound track!
Don't know what the capabilities of these machines are in terms of programming, but you could probably program that inside radius of the bottom cap with a G03 code and a typical turning insert. Wouldn't be too tough, just a little math/drawing.

Durham pullers is what we used. They are a simple and effective.
