Regarding the riveter, I may have that wrong.

Having a second look it appears to be some sort of a punch press, the foot pedal engages a clutch which now activates the head piece. Watch your fingers, when that clutch engages that head piece is coming alive and it's going to be very quick.

The larger V-belt pulley will have some weight to it, like a flywheel to store some kinetic energy as the puch makes that hole.

Probably used in a sheet metal or leather shop as in harness.
