A machine for producing points on the pilot end of a rotary fastener, the machine comprising a rotating dial for supporting an array of blank fasteners above a pair of dies. The blank fasteners are sequentially fed between the dies for pointing thereof. The dial is notched on its periphery to hold the blanks therein. The fasteners are held in coaxial alignment with the pinch point of the dies, by a notched biased centering plate, permitting accurate pointing of the fastener along the axis thereof.
