[bangster]

I keep reading about these things, but I'm unable to find anyplace that sells them. Any suggestions?

UK clockmakers suppliers Meadows & Passmore have a diamond coated bulls foot file:

For what specific use is this tool intended?

For instance when rebushing a clock.
The bulls foot allows you to remove the protruding part of a bushing without touching the plate.
Not as easy to use as a counterbore, but works fine if you are careful.
