Learn How To Run A CNC Router


Bladerunner CNC has teamed with St. Louis Community College's Emerson Engineering Center to offer woodworking professionals and serious hobbyists the opportunity to develop and/or advance their skills in the use of CNC technology. Aimed at entry-level users interested in purchasing a CNC router, the courses overcome technical usage barriers by providing a hands-on learning opportunity. Students will get to build a woodworking project using Bladerunner CNC's new Series 03 CNC router. This machine allows users to complete more difficult and unique projects quickly and effectively, and at a lower cost than previously available. Its computer controlled, three simultaneous axes movement makes it ideal for a wide variety of woodworking applications including cabinet, sign, furniture and clock making, as well as carving and boat building.

Stanley has launched the first in a line of innovative illumination tools. The new MaxLife(TM) 369 LED flashlight is capable of generating more than 200 hours of continuous light, using parallel energy cell technology and six bright-white, solid-state LEDs for extremely long run-time. Traditional incandescent flashlights could consume as many as 10 sets of batteries before you would ever need to replace those in the new MaxLife369. Weather-resistant and durable, it incorporates anodized aluminum space frame construction with a graphite/ABS composite head. The suggested retail price is $19.99 and it's available at hardware stores and home centers, wherever Stanley products are sold. For more information, please visit www.stanleyworks.com.
