（Iron-turning.) A lathe-tool a having a circular expansion with a sharp edge, causing it to resemble, in a degree, a nail-head. One edge is supported on the rest b, and the other is applied to the work to be turned. Nail-head tool. Nail′ing-ma-chine′. 1. (Carpentry.) A machine in which, the parts of a box being placed in the proper relation, plungers advance and drive the nails which secure the sides of the box together, and the sides to the bottom. Similar machines (see Rice's and Holmes's patents) are used for driving the legs of a wash-board against the sharpened edges of the corrugated zinc plate, sinking the zinc into the legs; an immediately succeeding motion forces the nails which secure the legs to the other portions. The nails are fed into grooves from hoppers, and the drivers advance along the grooves and complete the operation. 2. (Shoemaking.) A machine which acts automatically to drive the nails into shoe-soles. The nails are fed from a hopper,<
