Each rivet is actually two pieces. The solid male half is slightly oversize, to permanently engage the hollow female half, when the two are driven home. Only moderate energy is needed to seat and join the rivets, not a heavy blow that might damage your artistic handle workmanship. Rivets are inexpensive. Order a few extra rivets!
Rivets engage over a length from 1.200" maximum to .730" minimum. The shaft requires a .150" or larger clearance hole. Order #DRILL-21 (.159" diameter).
The .310" diameter head may be set flush into the handle using our piloted counterbore #DRILL-PCB-5.
