RIVETING

Tooling has been developed to form both sides of common rivet shapes and sizes. Copper, aluminum (& some steel) rivets can be formed, as well as setting speedy rivets. Once the rivet is trimmed to the proper length, and the burr is set, the FADT Rivet tooling will shape both the manufactured head and the shop head at once. The chart below contains details on the riveting set-ups.

• For a flat rivet finish, use the SM211 set bit on the PUNCH and/or DIE ADAPTORS. (Speedy Rivets)
• If the combined thickness of materials to be riveted is thin (less than 3/16"), use the 3/8" SPACER (provided) under the DIE ADAPTOR.
• See the chart for the suggested set-ups for forming round rivets heads.

* Do NOT exceed 90 PSI under any circumstance!
