Step 3: You must drill a hole precisely 1.5 mm more than the rivet diameter you want to install.
Step 4: Insert your rivet in the hole drilled through the materials you want to join together.
Step 5: When you install the rivet, the tail/shank comes out at the opposite end of the part where you will deform
it.
Step 6: Once you hammer the tail, it flattens the material making the tail spread about one and a half its actual
size. More importantly, ensure the rivet’s bottom is identical to the workpieces to complete the riveted joint.
