A set of three Excel riveting wheels in a vinyl case covers riveting work in one package. The wheels create a regular row of rivets along a guided line.
Responsibility details are not available.
A riveting wheel is a toothed wheel turning freely in a handle. Run across material it creates a row of perfectly regular impressions, something that pricking by hand with a needle cannot do. According to the designation this item is a set of three wheels supplied in a vinyl case, so the tools are kept together and protected, which matters with teeth, because a knocked tooth prints itself into every row of rivets that follows.
Positive rivets and how to get them
The direction of work decides the result. A pass over the face leaves impressions, that is negative riveting, which suits sheet with flush rivets, for example. If you turn thin material face down and run the wheel over the back, the teeth push the material through and a row of raised, positive rivets appears on the face. This is how riveting is made on thin plastic sheet, on aluminum foil and on self-adhesive film, from which the finished strip of rivets is lifted and applied to the model. A positive rivet cannot be pushed into the thick wall of a kit part; there the wheel makes impressions.
Keeping the line along a panel line
What pitches or diameters the individual wheels have is not given by the manufacturer in the designation. If you need a particular pitch for the scale you build in, check it on the box.
For modelers of aircraft and vehicles who restore riveting after sanding seams, and for those who would rather make strips of rivets themselves than buy finished photo-etched ones.
