 |

Been following the list for awhile and just picked up my 601 Kit from
the factory. I have the Harbor Freight Rivet Gun and was wondering what
pressure you initial use. Anyone else's experience with this type of
gun and there recommendations.

Mike,
I use about 40psi measured at the compressor. Nice and low to avoid the
risk of the riveter jumping when the rivet stem breaks.

Hi Mike,
I also use the smaller Harbor Freight rivet gun. I keep my
compressor set around 80 psi.
Have fun,

Hello Mike:
Regardless of what pneumatic gun you have use a properly modified nosepiece
that Zenith has designed and use the minimum air pressure that pulls the
rivet cleanly and with as little 'bounceback' as possible. On my Zenith gun I
start around 45 psi or so and work up if necessary. If you are not using
lubricated air don't forget a few drops of air tool oil every now & then -
especially with your air drill(s).

Hi Mike,
You asked, "I have the Harbor Freight Rivet Gun and was wondering what
pressure you initial use. Anyone else's experience with this type of
gun and there recommendations."
A friend and I used the Harbor Freight gun to build two Excalibur
ultralights plus many after-completion mods. It is about four years old and
still works well. I used it again today riveting stiffeners to a rear
cockpit windshield. I have always operated it on 90 - 95 psi. Remember to
give it 3 or 4 drops of 3 in 1 oil in the air inlet before each work
session.

I have been real happy with the same gun. I run it at 60 psi and it seems to
work fine. I plumbed a small regulator on the gun to step down the
pressure.
Good Luck

I used 90 psi with no bounce issue. Very pleased with the gun.
