Default Back Riveting Question

I was watching a video on Cleaveland website where they back rivet with a cframe and a 12" back rivet set.

Is this worthwhile? Do many people do this?

I have a Cframe (which I had welded together) for use with a Numatx squeezer. I have not attached a plate to hold the dimple dies, but I have drilled it out. I was going to just epoxy it to the Cframe, but the back riveting requires a larger hole. This would mean that I have to be able to remove and exchange the plates.

thanks
Ken

Lots of people do, I always did fine with a rivet gun/plate.

Default Fool proof

Back riveting with the c-frame tool from Cleaveland is basically fool-proof. So much so, I let my kids pull the trigger. They love being involved and I get two free hands to keep things aligned.
