New Ultra-Cut II™ is joined by Poly-Cut™SC and HV, Mag-Cut™, VMASK™, SSB™ and SandBlast for the largest family of specialty stencil and masking materials ever offered. Since 1992 we have refined and improved our machines and now with the introduction of the 515 & 626 models we have six generations and some fiteen years of field proven experience incorporated in the design of our latest Pro-Series Cutters. New features include more Speed, easier Setup, higher Force and improved Handling for Rolls or Sheets. BREN "Windows®" Software is the easiest to use cutting program ever!
