With  Stylus  Center  rotating,  gradually 
bring the Stylus and workpiece together. 
As it comes close to the edge reference 
position,  the  Stylus  will  stop  wobbling 
and runout will decrease. 

With additional feed, the Tip of the Stylus Center 
will grab onto the face of the workpiece and shift 
(“slide”, or “kick”) as shown. 
This transition occurs when the Stylus Center is 
accurately positioned at the edge.
The reference point for the edge of the workpiece 

is offset by ½ the diameter of the Tip.
