   anyone have success using a drill press to set kydex rivets? Just thought I could save a few, and use an existing tool, for another task, and just buy the dies.

   You can. If it's a cheaper press (like a lot of benchtops) with a set screw holding the head in place, you might have to drill a hole and put a pin through it or keep knocking it back down into place.
