How to Make a Snap and Rivet Setter from an Arbor Press and Dies



This is a snap setter that I made  from a Ann Arbor press and this is how I  do it so I've taken the arbor out and  made sure it's it's plumb and in line  with the axis at the drill press so I  can drill it out and I've just picked a  drill size as the same size dyes the  dyes have a diameter  now the dyes that I have on the top or  the part that goes into the artwork of  reading and rather than read the artwork .

 I felt like just a straight hole that I  could make inserts slip in to be a  little more versatile for future dies in  order to hold the insert into the arbor  I'm going to put a set screw so I'm  marking here in order to drill and tap  for that set screw .

Whenever you tap a hole you have to  check your reference and match the tap  size to the proper drill size I'm sped  this up quite a bit there's a lot of  forward and reverse and be careful it's  pretty easy to break those tabs testing  the screwed  to accurately mark the baseplate put the  arbor back in except put a set Center  punch into the hole that I've drilled  and use that to mark the clade
