Method for steel pin manufacture

A method of manufacturing a steel pin, comprising the steps of:

• forming a steel pin from a length of steel wire such that said steel pin has a substantially cylindrical shank;
• forming a substantially sharp point upon one end of said substantially cylindrical shank such that said substantially sharp end of said steel pin has surface imperfections;
• and
• reshaping said substantially sharp point end of said steel pin so that said substantially sharp point end of said steel pin has substantially true concentricity, so that surface-texture irregularities upon said substantially sharp point end of said steel pin have a roughness-height index value not greater than approximately 15 microinches, and so that said surface imperfections of said substantially sharp point end of said steel pin are eliminated and a substantially sharp point end of said steel pin, without said surface imperfections, is achieved.

• forming a substantially sharp point upon one end of said substantially cylindrical shank such that said substantially sharp end of said steel pin has a cleft portion;
• and
• reshaping said substantially sharp point end of said steel pin so that said cleft portion of said substantially sharp point end of said steel pin is eliminated and a substantially sharp point end of said steel pin, without said cleft portion, is achieved.

• forming a steel pin from a length of steel wire such that said steel pin has a substantially cylindrical shank;
• forming a substantially sharp point upon one end of said substantially cylindrical shank such that said substantially sharp end of said steel pin has a protuberance portion;
• and
• reshaping said substantially sharp point end of said steel pin so that said protuberance portion of said substantially sharp point end of said steel pin is eliminated and a substantially sharp point end of said steel pin, without said protuberance portion, is achieved.
