Take a pin, center, or prick punch and hold it against the top of the rivet. Using your hammer, strike the end of the punch to create a small dent in the head of the rivet. Be careful not to miss the end of the punch and strike your hand with the hammer. Some punches are spring-loaded and will punch the rivet on their own. that fits neatly into the divot. Find a bit that fits into the divot and is long enough to penetrate all the way through the rivet. Tighten the chuck so that the bit is tight and secure. The end of the bit should be thin enough to fit snugly into the divot created by the punch so it can grip it. The drill bit should be the same size as the rivet or smaller. For example, for a 14 inch (0.64cm) rivet, use a 14 inch (0.64cm) or a 316 inch (0.48cm) drill bit. Drilling the rivet will create lots of friction and heat. To help the bit pierce through the rivet without overheating or getting damaged, add a few drops of cutting fluid, or lubricant, to the end of it. Use your fingers to spread the lubricant all over the end of the drill bit. You can find drilling lubricant at hardware stores or online. Rivets are made of metal and they're often fastened to metal surfaces. Drilling against metal can create sparks or cause fragments to fly off, which could possibly injure your eyes. Before you start to drill, put on a pair of safety glasses that fit securely. Standard eyeglasses are not adequate protection. Be sure to wear safety glasses that are rated for drilling or cutting metal. The bit should fit into the divot, but you'll need to apply pressure to hold the end of the bit against the rivet. Be careful not to apply too much pressure or it could cause the drill to slip and the bit to scratch the surface holding the rivet. Keep one hand on the handle of the drill to apply pressure and another to hold the drill in place. Boring through metal rivets is done with pressure rather than speed. Start the drill slowly and maintain a steady pace as you hold the drill against the rivet and apply firm pressure. Don't press too hard against the rivet or the drill bit could slip or possibly bend. Continue to maintain pressure and a steady rate of speed as you drill through the rivet. Eventually, the rivet will be pushed all the way through the hole. Don't stop drilling until the rivet is completely removed from the surface.
