Abstract
A rivet setting machine is provided that includes a movable die supporting member that operates to increase working space when inserting and removing workpieces during non-fastening operations. In a first position, the die supporting member positions a die in an opposed relationship to a punch. In a second position, the die supporting member positions the die at a position apart from the punch, which increases the distance between the die and the punch during non-fastening operations.
