Back Riveting -- Solution

1.Using shims, level the back riveting plate on the table.

2.Using a drill press, drill a half inch hole almost through a 4" x 4" x 2" piece of hardwood.

3.Mount a straight universal head rivet set in riveting gun.

4.Use Vaseline to push the end of the set into the hole in the hardwood.

5.Place the hardwood on the levelled surface plate so that the gun is supported vertically.

6.Secure a round bubble level vial to the butt of the rivet gun with RTV or a silicone adhesive.

7.Make sure the vial is positioned so that the bubble is in the centre.

8.Secure the assembly so that it cures in that position overnight.

This will aid in setting perfectly aligned rivets provided

a.The back riveting plate is levelled prior to use;

b.The gun is held with the bubble in the centre while riveting.

Note: It pays to periodically recheck calibration using the wood block and straight rivet set. The straight set is only used during calibration.  The back riveting set is reinstalled for actual riveting.
