[VAC] Re: Spinning rivets



Use a high speed drill and light pressure, just enough so you can see the
shavings falling out.  Press too hard and you'll cut a good notch in the
rivet, and then it will start to spin.

The fix for that is try again with very light pressure, just barely
touching, until you see the chips again.
