Its not like a normal rivet where the heads are bashed over, the press tool is rotating, on an angle about the rivet.
The machine allows for different speeds and pressures, depending upon the application.
Skyway used a Taumel Orbital rivetting machine.

That's the exact answer I'm looking for . . . thanks Shaun  :daumenhoch:

Making new rivets is no problem but the machine required to set them properly is another ball game and very expensive by the looks of that PDF download

Cheers guys

Yeah but there must be a machine shop or college that has one that we could use...

Steve P:
Good point Chris and at last we have the name of the tool we need to use

Getting hold of my engineer these days is almost impossible but I'll keep trying  :daumenhoch:

Here is a pic of the head of the machine, to give you an idea.
If you know someone who works in a machine shop, you could get them to make the bush, with an angled hole, and to make you a rivet.
It may be possible to then use it in a pillar drill, there is loads of them around.

Iv got a pillar drill at work  ;D
