I need a connector like a rivet, but so the 2 pieces are not tight but can swivel around the rivet. I have seen connections like that but dont know what they are called. The 2 pieces need to be tight enough to not wobble but smoothly rotate. Also this is for a manufactured product so needs to be efficient to make. Is it some kind of welded shoulder bolt or special rivet that doesnt completely clamp down? Any information or direction is appreciated.Burt _____________________Miller Syncrowave 250Millermatic 211Miller 375 Plasma Cutter Hobart Handler 120www.10FtDrillBit.comwww.MyWelds.com - pictures of my work

Reply:I agree 👍 I used RED Loctite on morse drill chuck when about 15 years old. It took a torch to remove the drill chuck for drill press. I only did that one time never again. Now I only use for bolts I never want to remove. Dave
