I've decided to go ahead and order the 9a emp kit and I'm in desperate need of tool ordering help! I've spent the last few days trying to find answers here, but the more I read the more confused(undecided?) I get.
Lots of questions... so lets see...
CLECOS! I know I need a lot of them. Anyone have a favorite(cheapest) place to buy them? How many and what size do I need for the 9a? Does anyone want to sell me their old ones?
Rivet tools - Rivet gun (2x, 3x), bucking bar, manual squeezer, pneumatic squeezer? What do I really need? If I get the 3x gun do I also need the 2x gun? Is it possible(or wise) to buck all of the plane's rivets? Anyone want to put a riveting tutorial on Youtube ? Or point me to some good instructions?
So far I have a band saw, drill press, pedestal grinder, air compressor, and a bunch of other random hand tools.
I'd like to keep my tool expenses to a minimum, but I won't skimp out on something if I really need it. I've looked at the packages on avery and spruce and they seem a bit steep for my budget.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
