How to Buck Rivet | Solid Rivet | E08

Curious to know what buck riveting projects you all are working on!

they now make closed rivets that are watertight and you can use regular rivet gun... way easier

in an A&P course. taking sheet metal and learning about this.

Great video! Finally someone showing close up details of how the rivet gun works. Thanks! Also how far away are you from finishing your trailer renovation?

Maybe off topic, but I always see in videos from the US, wearing eye protection in like every possible siutaion, but never ear protection...

So like tubing rivets are in 1/16”. So a number 5x gun does 5/16” rivers and a number 8x would be 8/16 or 1/2”.

Absolutely one awesome video. Thank You

Very informative and excellent presentation.

Nice video, it is very useful content for preparing my interview

Thanks for the informative video boss

Where can i buy

Solid! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks so much for making this video. It's just what I needed to get me started.

Great instructional video. Thank you for taking the time to post

New subscriber here great channel. Much love to ya from Maryland❤❤❤

And you have a compressor at home! That´s super cool! I wish I had one, so much better to hace pneumatic tools!

Wow Dan! You are a treasure trove of knowledge!! This video is super useful 🤩

This video is exactly what I needed. Thanks for making everything clear and understandable.

Is it working with stainless rivets?

You are just making this up as you go... Jargen?? A hand squeeze is much better when access allows.. No one that actualls uses solid rivets uses a those words.. . You do not even know how to pronounce Cleko.. Air hammer or Air chisel with a set and a dolly...

great video.

I like the explanation thanks a lot,where can l request this kit?

👍

Great video, so why only 256 subscribers? After watching, I'd think many more.

Thanks, I inherited a pneumatic rivit gun & a couple of bucks from a friend who did some aircraft work. Been wondering about the nuances of the process.

Now I do... well done.

Pro tip to get the best fit possible on your holes : use a #30 Drill bit for 1/8 rivets. You can check the MIL Spec of AN rivets for aircraft buiding. #40 for 3/32 rivets, #30 for 1/8, etc...

Using a 9/64 will work but because the hole is slightly oversized, you risk the shank ballooning in between your 2 or more sheet of aluminum. Also makes the whole thing way easier as the rivet fits perfectly in the hole so no risk of bucking it sideways.

To get an even better fit I would use a 1/8 drill bit then a #30 straight reamer but that's probably overkill ;)

Great tutorial, I wish I had this when I started building my first kitplane back in 2007-2008!

Couple things, I work for Boeing as an assembler on the 777, I've been shooting rivets for 15 years. Clecos are pronounced as klee-cose. Those aren't rivet "sets" they're rivet dies. You place the bucking bar against the "tail" of the rivet, not the shank. You don't "drive" a rivet, you "shoot" a rivet. The person with the gun is called a shooter, not a gunner. That's how it is at Boeing anyway, maybe it's different outside of Boeing. Other than that, you did have good technique when you were shooting.

Hello everyone, on any air tool please use an inline air filter like item # 98355K833 in McMaster Carr catalog. This especially true if you have steel plumbing for the air lines. Just copy and paste the item # in the catalog online.

And you know what the call the mother of the bucker? ^_^. Nice video, I have been wanting to learn riveting and you make it look easy!

I look forward to more videos and thanks for a great introduction to riveting.

A really important thing not mentioned is that this process is LOUD and hearing protection (earplugs or earmuffs/ear defenders) is an absolute must.

Pronounce it Kle-co or Klee-co. I use a cheap air chisel with a rivet tool & whatever steel scrap that fits.

Cleco as i understand it is a long e, as in the name Cleveland. KLE-CO, not KLEH-CO.

Excellent video!

FYI I’ve always heard Cleco pronounced with a long e, likely because that’s how the first syllable of Cleveland is pronounced.

Good video. I hope your channel picks up some momentum.

Wanted to point out why a pop rivet is also referred to as a "blind rivet." A "blind hole" is a hole that does not go all the way through a material. A "blind rivet" is able to expand the barrel material in that hole, while retracting the rivet head slightly. This makes it possible to rivet something together without a through-hole.

clecos, 😂

Wow! Lots to learn! Thorough explanations of tools and use + video with helpful details and close-ups.
