--> RV6-List message posted by: "J. Brunke" <jdoody727@comcast.net>
Dear Listers,
I've been following this list for a long time and know I'll see some good
replys.
I just started a -7 tail kit. Obviously drilling out rivets becomes part of
the process.
There is a tool called a "multi-master" made by Fein. It is usually used
in woodworking but I
tried using it as a rivet removal tool on a test piece that I put together.
The multi-master is usually used
for sanding, but comes with cutting tools. The cutting tool can lie flat
on a surface and make a cut to
material sticking up from that flat surface such as a shop head on a rivet.
I was able to cut through the
shop head very easily and used a punch to remove the rest of the rivet. It
was quick and I didn't have to
worry about enlarging the drilled hole. I don't think it would work well
where the hole was dimpled, but
did well on a flat surface.
My question is to ask anyone to tell me what is wrong with using this
procedure? I welcome any comments.
Thanks,
John Brunke

Hey John -
When a rivet is driven, it expands to fill the dimension, radially, of
the installed hole. Sometimes this leads to a little expansion of the
native material, but "usually" it is not very much. It "usually" works
to install a similar size rivet to re-rivet the pieces together again,
especially if the original rivet was removed accurately. This is why
edge distance is one of the considerations in rivet pattern layout. My
question is: where do you get the tool you describe? Thanks. JBB

JBB,
The Fein web site can be found through a search engine. I checked and the
web site for the multimaster is:
www.fein.de/corp/de/en/multimaster/index.html
Hopefully if I did that right, you can just click on that and it should take
you to it. My wife bought this for me for
Christmas a few years ago. I didn't think I would use it, but it has a fair
amount of versitility. Today when I was
trying to figure out the "drill out" situation, I never thought the Fein
would work as well as it did.
Good luck,
John
