Removing the rivets, more often than not, damaged the gauge plate to some extent. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThat problem has now gone away, now that a replacement gauge is available. We use a small chisel to loosen each rivet by tapping at the base of each on all four sides, with less concern about plate damage. Once loose, the rivets can be removed. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation of a new plate after the machine is painted and complete can be done with OEM type rivets or with screws like we use in our restoration work. The original rivets holes can be drilled out with a #38 drill bit and tapped for 5-40 pan head screws. We find that screwing the new plate back in place with stainless steel makes more sense than using the once installed non-removal rivets.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vintagedeltasupply","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45798803964054,"sku":"GG-002","price":18.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/2269\/0966\/files\/69136fa1947629a3287d0b11_s-l1600_c786def4-c8cf-43a9-a65c-42f48daecbf1.jpg?v=1764087535","url":"https:\/\/vintagedeltasupply.com\/products\/delta-6-x-48-belt-sander-angle-plate","provider":"Vintage Delta Supply Co.
