How I remove flush rivets with video below. I use a #40 drill bit for a -3 rivet as the diameter should be less than the dimpled hole. I drill it out to ensure the bit never touches any metal but the rivet itself. I only go as deep as I need to remove the head with the backside of the drill bit. I have a few bucking bars with holes drilled in them to use as a backer. Hit it with autopunch.
The bucking bar with the hole can also be used on proud rivets using a very light hit from a flush set. Follow up with a solid bucking bar to ensure the shop head gets well set.
