Re: [Homebrew_PCBs] Metalized holes

2003-05-12 by Stefan Trethan

is the price there given in per pack of 100 pieces? or am i wrong?
then it would be VERY expensive.

but the picture of the riveting tool is nice. it is exactly what i thought of.
even the moveable center piece is exactly like i would have done it.
but i believe it would also work without the center rod.

the form tool seems very straightforward, it should be easy to make this on a lathe (yea of course i 
have none! hope to be able to do this with a drill press.....).

thank you for the links... 
but first i have to get the rivets....


i'm glad to have helped you with this suggestion.
i really think it is much easier then setting up a chemical process.
(sure the results can't compete)

regards
stefan
