Eyelet Press Setup
  1. Be sure the upper and lower Setting Tools are perfectly aligned. The tips should touch when the press is lowered. If the tips are not aligned, loosen the four mounting bolts and adjust as needed.
  2. If needed, drill out the plated hole removing all the plating. The drilled hole should be .001" - .005" (.025 - .125 mm) larger than the eyelet outside diameter. Use caution when working on a circuit board with inner layers.
  3. Insert the proper Setting Tool into the Tool Holder installed in the base of the Eyelet Press. The small cone tip end of the Setting Tool should be facing up. Tighten the set screw to secure it in position. (See Figure 1)
