Bought a new Weaver Rivet Press

Jaspa, that looks like a BUSM automatic riveter I almost bid for on eBay. Went for beer money but I would have had to pick it up halfway across the country.

I dont have room for it, but I would make room considering how many copper and brass rivets I set.

Sadly I think most automatic riveters like this are only suitable for splash/machine rivets. Nothing wrong with them in the right context, but not what the majority of us here need.

I have a couple of manual presses which do jiffy rivets as fast as I need them. Still looking for a mechanical solution to saddlers rivets.

What kind of rivets you mean?

Its the ones that JerseyFirefighter posted about, copper rivets and burrs. I doubt that machine in your picture takes the copper rivets and burrs. That's a very complicated way to set them. Haven't seen any machine that does them yet.
