Frequently Asked Questions For Riveting With An Arbor Press

How do you press rivets?

While using a hammer or homemade vice press might seem like a sufficient option for pressing rivets, the results aren't always consistent. Cut down on wasted time and materials by using a quality manual arbor press from Janesville Tool & Manufacturing. We'll make sure the press you receive is the right tool for the job.

How much tonnage is required to press rivets?

Determining the amount of tonnage needed to press rivets depends on the kind of material and the thickness of material the rivet is being inserted into. We offer a wide selection of presses ranging from 1/8 tons to 4 tons in capacity. Contact Janesville Tool & Manufacturing to confirm which arbor press capacity fits your application the best.
