Yanni Report post Posted August 14, 2012 I need a rivet machine, the factory we use has a pneumatic one but not sure we can afford one for now. I've been offered a manual one as on first photo. Would it do the work, we are using hollow rivets as on photos 0 and 3. The thing is would the manual machine do the self-piercing the pneumatic one does? In other words would it make the hole for the rivet or I will have to open it before placing the rivets? Alternative where am I looking for a good basic automatic riveter? Thank you.
