As I thought, I was not supposed to be oiling it...that is good. But, I was only running it at 60 psi. I wish they sold manuals with these rebuilt ones. I guess others have had the same issues with the 1/8 rivets in that I was having to get the rivet started, then reset the set and squeeze again...sometimes a couple of times. I thought that this was a problem, but it looks like others were having to do the same. Thanks again, Will #91056 ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:20:37 AM PST US From: "David Carter" Subject: Re: RV-List: Re: Lubricating my pneum squeezer? --> RV-List message posted by: "David Carter" Will, one more thing - about operating pressure: I used to use about 80 psi but learned to run it up near "max" - 115psi. - Back in 1998 or so, when I was working on my empennage and dimpling with the squeezer, the dimples had a slight depression around each dimple, out to about the size of a dime or nickle. We had an exchange on this list and two of us ran some tests and confirmed that the dies don't fully "flatten" the area around the dimple when you run "lower" pressures.
