Basic Requirements for a Quality Attachment
Use the correct eyelet length for the application thickness.
Keep tools in good working order. Worn tools will affect the ability to curl eyelets properly.
Cracked or chipped edges on tools may damage fasteners during the attachment process.
Uneven edges on a die may cause the cap or eyelet to rock during the attaching process resulting in unacceptable piercing or curling.
Worn or out-of-alignment tools may affect the quality of an eyelet curl because the fasteners being attached will not line up properly.
Make sure that the work area is stable. Lateral movement in a tool or a fastener during the attaching process could jeopardize the quality of the attachment.
