So I?m using my pneumatic rivet squeezer for the first time in maybe 15 years (!). The ram, fully retracted, extends 0.3?, and fully extended, the gap (with no set installed) is 0.4?. I took the yoke off and the ram out, and it?s a fixed ram (non-adjustable). So I?m wondering if the squeezer has something wrong inside causing the ram to be too far extended, all the time? Hopefully I?m doing something dumb that I just don?t remember.
There is no manufacturer or model number on the squeezer body. And I do have a full bunch of flat sets of various thickness.
I?ve looked briefly at the Cleaveland too youtube video, and although that reminded me of some things I?d forgotten, it didn?t help solve my problem.
So is there something internal that needs to be looked at? I'm not looking forward to taking it apart but can surely do that. And there are no indications of rust or sticking.
Thanks!
