A device for positioning a joinery fastener (74) in a joinery member (33) for later use in forming a joinery assembly. The fastener positioning device (41) includes a feed magazine (82) for feeding joinery fasteners (74) to a gripping apparatus (83). The gripping apparatus (83) is positioned to receive the fasteners (74) and is adapted to releasably grip individual fasteners (74) below the fastener head (86) tohold the fasteners (74) in a controlled, indexed relation to the gripping apparatus (83). The gripping aparatus is movable between a fastener gripping position to a fastener placement position while the pointed end (88) of the fastener (74) remains in indexed relation, and a placement arm (92) is formed to urge the fastener (74) forming the gripping apparatus (83) into interference fit with the joinery member (33). |
