Product Overview

The RUPES iBrid Mini HSR73 5" Random Orbital Battery Sander Deluxe Kit (HSR73/BETA) is a premium cordless sanding system designed for professional finishing of wood, composites, paint, plastics, and other surfaces across virtually any industry. Featuring iBrid dual‑power technology, a 2mm (5/64") orbit, and a 5" (125mm) multi‑hole backing pad, the HSR73 delivers exceptional efficiency, dust extraction, and surface quality.

The HSR73’s self‑generating vacuum system eliminates the need for an external dust extractor. Attach the included RUPES Green Tech Filter (80.400/C) for outstanding dust collection and unmatched mobility. For shop environments, the tool may also be connected to a vacuum using the optional 9GAT2001 electric vacuum hose.

Pair the HSR73 with RUPES ProCut 5" Film Multi-Hole Grip Sanding Discs for excellent sanding performance and dust extraction.

The HSR73 features iBrid Technology, allowing you to choose between cordless operation with battery power or continuous use with the RUPES iBrid 9HP180LT/US AC-DC Power Adapter, sold separately.

This Deluxe Kit includes the HSR73 sander, two 9HB180LT 18V Li‑Ion batteries, the 9HC180LT charging station, the Green Tech Filter, and the large RUPES Systainer Case (9.CASEIII) — providing a complete cordless sanding solution with professional storage and transport.

Optimized ergonomics, compact dimensions, and modern lines make the HSR73 extremely comfortable and easy to use in multiple grip positions, reducing fatigue while improving precision and efficiency.

Features & Benefits

Design & Ergonomics

Modern lines, balanced weight distribution, and carefully engineered grip positions create a sander that feels natural in the hand and delivers consistent, high‑quality results.

Maximum Flexibility

The 2mm orbit and 5" multi‑hole backing pad provide excellent control and a fine finish, ideal for woodworking, automotive refinishing, marine applications, composite fabrication, and general surface preparation.

Pair this sander with any 5" multi‑hole grip abrasive discs, including RUPES ProCut Film, RUPES Multi‑Purpose Gold, 8‑hole, 9‑hole (Festool pattern), 17‑hole, universal multi‑hole, or net‑style vacuum discs. The HSR73’s multi‑hole backing pad ensures excellent dust extraction and full compatibility with both RUPES and competitor 5" grip sanding discs.

2mm Precision Orbit

The fine 2mm orbital movement provides excellent sanding control and a consistent finish for surface preparation, refinement, and detailed sanding applications.

Multi-Hole Dust Extraction

The Delta multi-hole backing plate is designed for efficient dust evacuation when paired with compatible vacuum abrasive sheets and the HSR73 dust extraction system.

Self‑Generating Vacuum System

The integrated dust extraction turbine allows the tool to operate without an external vacuum. Attach the Green Tech Filter (80.400/C) for outstanding dust capture and mobility.

Electronic Speed Control

Highly visible and easy to adjust, the speed dial offers five working speeds from 7,000 to 11,000 RPM for maximum versatility.

Throttle Lever

Inspired by pneumatic tools, the rubberized variable‑speed lever provides precise control and automatically deactivates the tool if dropped or released.

Battery Power System

The 9HB180LT Li‑Ion Batteries feature LED charge indicators and deliver 35–45 minutes of continuous runtime. The custom charging station provides a full charge in approximately 35 minutes, ensuring near‑continuous operation.

Continuous Power System

RUPES iBrid Mini tools feature dual power technology, allowing for battery or plug-in power operation. The RUPES iBrid 9HP180LT/US AC-DC Power Adapter, sold separately, allows for continuous power operation. This power adapter features a 12' (3.5M) cord and is designed to work with all HLR75, HSE73, HSR73, HSS73 iBrid tools.

Recommended RUPES ProCut Film Sanding Discs

Pair the HSR73 with RUPES ProCut 5" Film Multi-Hole Grip Sanding Discs for excellent sanding performance and dust extraction.

RUPES PROCUT Film Discs feature a durable PET film backing, precision-coated abrasive grain, and a stearate layer designed to improve dust extraction and reduce loading during dry sanding. Available grit ranges make the system suitable for defect removal, surface preparation, and refinement on paint, primer, putty, gelcoat, wood, plastics, metals, and composites.
