Members hallbuilt Posted April 23, 2009 Author Members Report Posted April 23, 2009 What size spots are you wanting to set? I have a recipe to build a nice foot press for under 200 bucks. 1/4 up to 1/2. I would be very interested in the DIY press. By the way, Standard Rivet is advertising their #2 machine with bench,dies and spots for 595.00. Thanks!
Members ryano Posted April 23, 2009 Members Report Posted April 23, 2009 Ok. I will right them up and post them later today when I have more time to do so. It takes a little fabrication and welding. You can get buy without doing so, but it will cost a little more. Fun little project! lol
Members ryano Posted April 24, 2009 Members Report Posted April 24, 2009 I misplaced my book for the part numbers. Will be continued. Sorry for the wait.
Members courtney Posted May 6, 2009 Members Report Posted May 6, 2009 looking for a used one or recomendations for a new one. thanks in advance, Mike Hi, I've never posted here so hope I'm doing it right. I have the Standard Rivet Machine And I think it's great! It seems like the larger spots take a little more force and you have to get a feel for it. The bench grinder table that you can get to set it up on is not tottaly ideal but I havent thought of a better way to mount it. They are really nice there and they make dies for all the spots they have. Weaver has one that looks pretty good but they dont offer alot of dies or spots. I think the Standard Rivet one is the best you can get with the most choices of spots and dies.
