Brief Description: Created a dimpling and back rivet tool from steel
I bought the steel at Home Depot for $6. I was afraid it would be too hard for the bits I had, so I bought a high speed steel bit. It chewed through it like butter. I then used the #30 countersink to create a pocket, which is where the metal will go when using the male dimple die on the other side.I think the piece is a bit large for what I want, but it was the smallest size they had. I think it's a good thinkness, though probably a little bit thicker than is best - as I was not able to use it to buck the rivets on the trailing edge of the ribs (for the training kit, which is like making the rudder or aileron control surface).
