VK 4608P Rivet Buster

Rivet Buster – VK 4608P ( 30 lb )

The VK 4608P is the pistol grip version of the VK 4608D, technically equivalent to the Chicago Pneumatic CP 4608P. At 14 kg it delivers 900 blows per minute on 21 l/s of air from the same 203 mm short cylinder stroke. The forged steel pistol handle with external trigger is the better choice for horizontal work such as cutting tanks and plate, where a D handle is awkward to hold level.

Application 

• Bridge deck work with weight restrictions

• Medium to heavy concrete demolition

• Cutting metal tanks or plates

• Industrial applications in foundries or the petrochemical industry

  
  

Features

• Teasing Throttle for smooth performance and operator control

• Forged steel handle for durability in tough conditions

• Stepped cylinder design to prevent accidental piston ejection

• Robust components for enduring tough work environments

• New Design VK 4611P replaces the old VK 4181 Puser (8” short cylinder stroke)

VK 4608P Rivet Buster FAQs

Can the VK 4608P replace a CP 4608P?

Yes. The VK 4608P is technically equivalent to the Chicago Pneumatic CP 4608P, manufactured by Vikay in India. A 30.2 mm piston on a 203 mm stroke gives 900 blows a minute at 14 kg on 21 l/s of air at 6.2 bar.

Will Vikay parts fit my CP 4608P?

Yes. Vikay manufactures the VK 4608P, which is technically equivalent to the Chicago Pneumatic CP 4608P, and the replacement parts alongside it. The same parts serve both, so both can be supported out of one parts stock. See the CP 4608P Chicago Pneumatic Rivet Buster Parts page for the part numbers and the assembly each one belongs to.

Which Vikay rivet buster do I need?

This page is the VK 4608P at 14 kg. Three sizes are manufactured, each in a D handle and a pistol grip version. The 4608 is the lightest at about 14 kg, the 4611 the middle at about 15 kg, and the 4689 is the riveting hammer, which converts to a rivet buster by fitting a retainer and a chisel. The handle is a separate decision from the size: the D handle for sustained two handed work on rivets and concrete, the pistol grip for tight spaces and overhead.

Will my compressor run the VK 4608P?

The VK 4608P needs 21 l/s at 6.2 bar, delivered continuously. The inlet is 12.7 mm, so run at least that hose bore: anything narrower throttles the machine before the compressor does. At 900 blows a minute the draw is constant rather than intermittent, so size the compressor against that figure rather than against a peak.
