In an anvil powder compacting press, wherein the anvil, mounted on a work station positioner arcuately or longitudinally movable over a die plate in which is disposed a die cavity in which powder material is compacted between the face of a punch reciprocably disposed in the die cavity and the face of the anvil, is coarsely positioned over the die cavity by the work station positioner, an anvil indexing and locating mechanism for finely locating the anvil over the die cavity prior to compacting an article. The anvil fine indexing and locating mechanism is in the form of a plunger disposed in the anvil normally retracted and caused to project into a bore in the die plate. The locating plunger or pin is mechanically operated by the clamp clamping the anvil in position over the die cavity, or operated independently from the clamp.
