Please, could those who have successfully used a rivet shaver share some info? I have the little shaver bit from Avery and I've been testing it in the countersink cage on some scrap. Seems like it works okay but have a few questions: What speed should I spin this? 3000 RPM in my drill or 10,000 RPM in hand air grinder? What techniques are there for minimizing movement of the cage? Due to speed it vibrates a bit and moves on the surface. Which countersink cage should I use? The 1/2 inch mini or the really small micro-c'sink? Will turning my c'sink at 10,000 hurt it, if it is rated for only 3,000? I put a little Boelube on it. I'm planning to shave just a small amount of some rivets on the tanks and really they are slightly tilted so it is one side of the mfg head then needs a tweak. Maybe it's not worth doing. What are the dangers and how do you screw up using a rivet shaver. Thanks for the G2. ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
