Abstract: Apparatus for fashioning a pointed end on a stake includes a base on which is mounted a rotatably driven slotted circular disk having secured to one side thereof a plurality of cutting blades co-disposed in a radially outward arrangement within a cutting plane of the disk. A feed table is displaceably mounted on the base adjacent the cutting plane of the disk and supports a hollow cylinder having open ends for receiving a wooden stake and retaining a free end thereof in a predetermined angular cutting engagement with the cutting plane. Forward travel of the stake through the cylinder is limited by a stop member and lateral displacement of the stake relative to the cutting plane is provided by a handle operated cam that controllably moves the feed table to establish a predetermined depth of cut. The stake is rotated within the cylinder either manually or by a motor driven rotator which results in pinpointing the extended end of the stake.
