mmcoon Report post Posted January 26, 2014 I have the Tandy Hand Press, but there are times I need to set rivets in places that cannot be reached with this press. I also tend to use a thicker, stiffer leather, so I cannot bend it to make it fit underneath. Obviously, I can set them by hand, but is there something that exists that is "long-armed" or something? Sometimes there are a lot of rivets and I'd much prefer to use a press or something... Thanks in advance! M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted January 27, 2014 The two questions I have, how deep of a throat will you require on the press and what's your budget? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmcoon Report post Posted January 27, 2014 I don't know what range they have as far as throat depth, but 6 or 8" would be nice. I'm not sure what this kind of thing costs.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tree Reaper Report post Posted February 6, 2014 There are a variety of presses sold by Weaver, Ohio Bag etc., most are limited to 5-6 inch throats but you can phone them to verify. You might consider modifying a deep throat lever press. Buy the standard dies and modify the ram to accept them. http://www.amazon.com/ABS-Import-8600-0138-Throat-Capacity/dp/B00E0NG20U Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
