The universal runner is used for fitting clock and watch pivots; a skilled worker can fit pivots measuring as little as 0.15 mm. Two operations are generally used for this work: 1. Choose a drill that fits easily into the selected hole of contring plate. 2. Mark the centre with the centring runner, then drill with a bit that is smaller than the hole selected; in either case, lubricate generously. The countersinking stakes must be ground accurately on the centre with an Arkansas stone.
