A drive rivet is a form of blind rivet that has a short mandrel protruding from the head that is driven in with a hammer to flare out the end inserted in the hole. This is commonly used to rivet wood panels into place since the hole does not need to be drilled all the way through the panel, producing an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
A typical pop-rivet (a.k.a. blind rivet) A pop rivet gun is made to apply pop rivets to a workpiece, and was invented in 1916 by Hamilton Wylie. [2] This type of rivet gun is unique in its operation, because it does not hammer the rivet into place. Rather, a pop rivet gun will form a rivet in-place.

This page could use some good diagrams showing the various rivet types in cross-section.--Hooperbloob 04:00, 7 August 2005 (UTC) I agree that diagrams (especially detailing how blind rivets work) would go a long way towards improving this article.
The RV-12 is the first production kit from Van's that is predominantly constructed using blind rivets, which allows the majority of the construction to be done without an assistant. The use of computerized punch machines to punch out most of the rivet holes to final size simplifies construction by minimizing the need to deburr or final size ...
This action causes the end of the rivet to roll over in the rollset which causes the end of the rivet to flare out and thus join the materials together. Impact riveting machines are very fast and a cycle time of 0.5 seconds is typical. Example of a 4-step orbital rivet Diagram of how an orbital riveting works

Side and end view of a 4-fluted countersink. The fluted countersink cutter is used to provide a heavy chamfer in the entrance to a drilled hole. This may be required to allow the correct seating for a countersunk-head screw or to provide the lead in for a second machining operation such as tapping.
