120 degree versus 100 degree

Post by moose2b » Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:21 pm

Hi everyone!

Searched the archives, but couldn't find the answer. I've got 100 degree
countersinks and dimple tools. I've been told the Avex CS rivets are 120
degree. Can I use the tools I've got, or do I need new stuff? If I need 120
stuff, where can I buy it?

Thanks,

Terry Riedel

120 degree versus 100 degree

Yes the Avex are 120*. Spruce and others offer 120* dimpling sets
including the type for use with a pop rivet puller. I like to drill a
bit smaller than #30 and redrill after dimpling to get an exact hole
with parallel edges. For an occasional countersink, a 118* drill bit
seems to work although I ground one to 120*.

I just used the 100 degree, they seemed to pull in just fine. I thought this
had been discussed before but couldn't find anything either. Anybody else
just use the 100?

Yup!
Up to this point, I hadn't noticed a difference.

120 degree versus 100 degree

Post by rickhm » Fri Feb 17, 2012 10:21 pm

100 degree worked fine for me as well. However, I flush riveted the entire
aircraft so I likely used my tool more frequently than most. However, the
wing stringers I bucked with AN rivets and wherever it was easy access I put
in AN rivets with a squeezer. I also did some testing of pull away strength.
This is the force required to lift the skin off a surface along the axis of
the rivet shaft. The AN rivets were slightly stronger and the failure mode
was the skin would rip before the rivet failed. I was not able to test them
in a shear mode (90 degrees to the axis of the rivet), my scale wouldn't go
high enough for such testing.
