Product Overview

The RUPES BigFoot LHR12E Duetto 5" (125mm) Random Orbital Sander & Polisher Starter Kit (LHR12E/US/STR, aka LHR12E/US/BAS) is a complete sanding and polishing system built around the versatile 12mm orbit Duetto. This kit was originally designed as an all‑in‑one solution for defect removal, surface refinement, and finishing — and includes everything needed to begin correcting and polishing immediately.

The LHR12E Duetto is a dual‑function tool capable of both sanding with finishing abrasives and polishing with foam pads and compounds. Its balanced chassis, low vibration, and ergonomic front grip make it exceptionally easy to control, even for novice operators.

The 12mm orbit is optimized for modern abrasive discs, providing efficient defect removal, orange peel reduction, and predictable surface leveling with no deep sanding marks. When paired with RUPES D‑A foam pads and compounds, the Duetto produces a refined, glossy finish with minimal effort.

This starter kit includes the LHR12E tool, backing plate, compounds, pads, microfiber towels, and other accessories — all packaged in a RUPES carton box.

Manufactured in Italy for maximum precision and reliability.
