Suite J Camp Verde, AZ 86322 U .S .A . *Only one coupon per person Pieh Tool Company, Inc. 1-888-743-4866 a About the President Many people ask me how I ended up selling horseshoes and blacksmith supplies. Their second question usually is: "Why did you pick Camp Verde, Arizona?" It's a simple story… In 1960, seven years before I was born, my father Bill and mother Bonnie started Centaur Forge, Ltd. I grew up knowing blacksmiths and shoers. Didn't everybody? Dad and Mom's passion for taking care of the folks who depended upon them brought them success in their business. They also made a lot of friends. As far as my parents were concerned, 'caring' was a hundred and ten percent effort. It was always their goal to provide the widest selection of products from books to anvils for the best value. That stuck with me. That passion for caring stuck with me when I joined the United States Air Force and became a safety inspector on aircraft. After I separated from the military I continued as a metallurgical inspector in the aerospace, fossil fuel and nuclear power industries worldwide. When my father became seriously ill and died in 2000, I moved back to Wisconsin to help at the company. Not long after, my mother also passed away. In the two years I worked at my parents' company, I realized that there was more to my returning home than just helping out -- I was carrying on a forty-year family tradition. Everyday when I awakened I could hardly wait to get to the office. Centaur Forge's customers had become my parents' friends, and their friends were quickly becoming my friends too. Just like my parents, I wanted to be there for my friends when they needed me. I realized how much I loved this business. When the company was sold, I went back to work at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona, but I just could not walk away from the industry or the customers who had now become my friends. I asked for and received loads of advice from a lot of folks. I prayed a lot. Then one day I visited Camp Verde. Looking across the western landscape I thought, “You know Amy face it, you miss the blacksmith and horseshoe supply business and the people. You like the wide-open spaces here. And the neighbors are terrific. Dad and Mom would be very proud that I established a business and carried on the traditions they practiced over four decades.” Just then there was this little voice that whispered out of nowhere. "You can do it Amy, right here." And well, what can I say? Welcome to Pieh Tool Company, Inc! Pieh Tool Company is my dream in the making. It is my 'thank you' to two of the most wonderful people I ever knew, Bonnie and Bill Pieh. My Chief Director and son, William Theodore, my staff and I look forward to your visit at our store for a cup of coffee. Come see what's new in the world of blacksmithing and horseshoeing. Our dog and company mascot Ally, will be waiting at the door to greet you. Until then, we are only a web page or a phone call away from your horseshoeing and blacksmithing needs. If you're not near a computer, just pick up the phone and dial toll free. We'll be happy to hear from you and process your order in the same prompt, friendly and efficient manner my parents did…and always at the best prices in the industry. Warmest regards, Amy Pieh, President b Pieh Tool Company, Inc. HORSESHOE NAILS Manufactured from high quality steel.

    Lab Sheet for CNC Laboratory Department of Production Engineering and Metallurgy Prepared by: Dr. Laith Abdullah Mohammed Production Engineering – CNC Lab Lab Sheet Numerical Control (NC) Fundamentals What is Numerical Control (NC)? Form of programmable automation in which the processing equipment (e.g., machine tool) is controlled by coded instructions using numbers, letter and symbols - Numbers form a set of instructions (or NC program) designed for a particular part. - Allows new programs on same machined for different parts. - Most important function of an NC system is positioning (tool and/or work piece). When is it appropriate to use NC? 1. Parts from similar raw material, in variety of sizes, and/or complex geometries. 2. Low-to-medium part quantity production. 3. Similar processing operations & sequences among work pieces. 4. Frequent changeover of machine for different part numbers. 5. Meet tight tolerance requirements (compared to similar conventional machine tools). Advantages of NC over conventional systems: Flexibility with accuracy, repeatability, reduced scrap, high production rates, good quality. Reduced tooling costs. Easy machine adjustments. More operations per setup, less lead time, accommodate design change, reduced inventory. Rapid programming and program recall, less paperwork. Faster prototype production. Less-skilled operator, multi-work possible. Limitations of NC: · Relatively high initial cost of equipment. · Need for part programming. · Special maintenance requirements. · More costly breakdowns.

But it appears they were invented sometime in the Middle Ages to protect the hooves of horses used by soldiers to travel over rough terrain, as often the hooves were compromised when horses were kept in stables standing in their own waste. In this day and age most owners continue to keep their horses shod. After all, this has always been customary — can you remember back to a time otherwise? Why do people shoe their horses? The answer is always the same: most horse owners assume that their horse’s hooves are too weak and too sensitive to go unshod.
