I don't know about most modern lathes, but mine leaves little nubs I have to cut off. Normally I'd do this on my bandsaw, but the LED was too big for it, so I had to use a coping saw. Cut them off as close to the LED as possible. for the nub by the curved down part, using a vibrating sander. For the nub at the base, use a belt sander.

Apply more wax to the newly sanded parts.

Fantastic woodturning drives the electronics industry. Next time try using a face plate to turn the dome it would leave you with a nub free end and you can sand it in and finish it really smooth for the casting. great ible love it
