Solid 1" Rivet Installation
Solid 1" Rivet Installation
(OP)
I am in need of some assistance on where to find a rivet tool, press, or hammer that is capable of finishing 1" solid steel countersunk head rivets. The tail will also be countersunk as I have no clearance for any protruding material on either side. These are 1" rivets with a finish length of 1.6875". Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!!

Remove the lower die and install a solid plate. I do not know what your application is, however some years ago I installed a few 1" dia round head steel rivets by using a " Bridge buster " air hammer with a custom made Rivet set, then heating the rivet cherry red with an oxy- acetylene torch.

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

There is a table for "Hold-On"; Dolly Bar and Rivet Sets dimensions.
If you can't find an old rivet gun you may be able to modify a Hilti hammer drill and bit.
