My TDL did not have a nub sticking out, so I just used a Dremel tool with jewelers rouge and a felt bob, just knocking off the sharp edge. The tool spent about 30 seconds in contact with the surface being polished. I did not want to re shape the edge, just polish it dull so it would not cut into the guide rod as it rotated. On the guide rod I used 400 grit wet dry paper on a flat table and finished it with jewelers rouge on the felt bob.
