Default Squeezer Yokes

I plan to build an RV-10. I plan to use the 3060 squeezer from Numatx, so that I can use it to squeeze rivets and then mount it to a C-frame for dimpling.

Which squeezer yokes will I need for the job?

Thanks
ken

For my RV-10 I used two yokes and was able to do just about everything I needed to.

3" Yoke

Longeron Yoke
http://www.averytools.com/prodinfo.asp?number=7755

There were a few times a 4" yoke would have been helpful, but not enough to buy. Also I borrow a No Hole (http://www.averytools.com/prodinfo.asp?number=7745) a few times as well, but not often enough to buy.

Default Three yokes seems to be the ticket ...

Like Charlie said, the basic 3" and longeron yokes are musts. if you don't have someone close by to borrow yokes from, a 4" no-hole yoke will save yer butt in numerous instances.

Ditto on the 3" and Longeron.

That being said, I really like my 4" no-hole yoke. And when I'm done with my project, I'll sell it for a good percentage of what I bought it for. Think of it as a long term rental!
