Re: [VAC] Rivet Shavers



being blessed to live in the Seattle area and have access to the Boeing
surplus store I have scene many of the products listed in the airparts site,
I even have the countersink unit the shaver goes into. These come in a few
sizes, if the threads are 1/4 inch the shaver will be large and perhaps the
right size, but there are much smaller sizes that are for counter sinking
smaller fasteners. I can say that you will need the unit it screws into
because the threads are very short on the countersinks.
+++Also I have gotten several rivet dies there which are just an airtool
shank with a highly polished dished out end (concave) I am going to try to
use this by hand to burnish the rivets arfter they have been snipped.
