RUPES BigFoot LHR12E Duetto 5" Orbital Hybrid Sander & Polisher, LHR12E/US/STD

Product Overview:

RUPES BigFoot LHR12E Duetto 5" (125mm) Sander and Polisher with 12mm Random Orbit (LHR12E/US/STD) is a simple, intuitive and exceptionally comfortable tool that allows any operator to tackle even the most challenging polishing operation.

The all-in-one sanding and polishing system, the RUPES Duetto is equally effective working with soft or interface backing pads paired with finishing abrasives during the defect correction step or with foam polishing pads and compounds during the polishing stage. 

Extensive research on random orbital dynamics and exhaustive testing resulted in the choice of a 12mm orbit length, which greatly improves the surface rectification abilities of the latest generation of abrasive discs. The combination of the Duetto and abrasives is especially effective when smoothing orange peel or significant defects. The finish generated by this combination is both homogeneous and predictable, with no deep sanding marks.

The use of finishing abrasive discs to correct severe defects creates a surface that is easily polished, dramatically reducing the overall time of the full correction process.

The Duetto is so well balanced and low in vibration that the operator can easily control the sanding step by simply guiding Duetto over the surface. The ability to control the tool so efficiently minimizes the chances of creating surface mistakes that require time-consuming rework. 

The Duetto has several design features that make it uniquely operator friendly. The anti-spinning device reduces the chances of operator error even for a novice technician. The front hand grip allows the operator to place his/her hand at the virtual balance center of the tool and keeps vibration to a minimum. The electronic module has built-in torque control, reducing the need for the operator to apply significant downward vertical pressure.

Another unique duetto feature is the rubber support that allows the operator to place duetto on a workbench without the abrasive disc touching a surface that might contain contaminants that could transfer to the workpiece during the sanding process.

Compatible with 5" (125mm) finishing abrasive discs, interface pads and D-A buff pads. Click here for RUPES buff pads recommended to use with the LHR12E.

Features and Benefits:

DUAL FUNCTION: SANDING AND POLISHING
The LHR12E and its 12mm (0.5") orbit can be used with fine grit abrasives to speed up deep correction operations. The tool can then use foams and compounds to refine the abrasive scratches and restore a lustrous finish.

ERGONOMICALLY PERFECT
With its nonslip rubber inserts in the front cover, the LHR12E is perfect for all polishing operations in difficult to reach zones. The operator can work in comfort to produce the best results possible.

ANTISPINNING SHROUD
The dual function antispinning shroud is designed to protect the operator against the moving parts and act as a clutch for the backing pad, preventing further stress on the foam polishing pad when it is not in direct contact with the surface.

DESIGN
The attention to detail is not limited to just the innovative and attractive design. The modern lines and exceptional technical quality are combined with a number of details that are the result of meticulous research aimed at achieving maximum operator comfort. The non-slip rubber inserts are numerous and have many functions. In particular, the insert on the machine body is used to support the polisher when placed on a surface.

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL MODULE
The speed controller is both practical and easy to use. The speed of the polisher can also be easily adjusted without interrupting the work.
