The parts feeder includes an adjustable width parts channels for orienting parts having a variety of sizes. One embodiment is intended for orienting headed parts having elongated shafts and includes an air block adjacent a parts orienting unit which provides a pressurized air stream against the flow of parts, and at an acute angle relative to an axis perpendicular to the parts flow path, for directing misoriented parts back into the parts feeder. An alternate embodiment is intended for orienting non-headed parts such as nuts and washers. The vibratory parts feeder of either embodiment is configured to minimize parts jams therein.
