Bench top C Frame Riveter/Dimpler

Postby BobDz » Sun Jan 14, 2024 10:37 am

I have the basic C frame bench top rivet/dimpling tool. I'm considering converting it to air operated with a foot control. This would leave both hands free to manipulate the material. A basic pneumatic actuator is fairly cheap.

Just wondering if anyone has attempted to do this.

Yes, I know, I have way too much free time and think way too much about such shenanigans.

Most likely will coincide with the pickup of my fuselage kit!
