I am new to all of this so bear with me.
When doing some practice (AN470AD4-6) on some thick test material (pneumatic squeezer, standard yoke), the yoke flexed. When I measured the shop head of the rivet, it was still not short/wide enough, so more squeezing was necessary. I don't like the sound of breaking objects, particularly those with enough power to adjust my attitude
, so I did not add any more washers to the set.
I was able to make a not-so-precise measurement of the opening on the yoke when it was under no pressure, and when it was being stressed. The yoke stressed about 3/64".
Am I being a wimp and should I get over it, or am I misinterpreting squeezer use?
Building is a blast! Shouldn't have waited so long (11 years) to start.
Best regards,
Michael
