RUPES BigFoot LHR15V Mark V 5" Orbital Polisher, LHR15V/US/STD
Product Overview
The RUPES BigFoot LHR15V Mark V Random Orbital 5" Polisher (LHR15V/US/STD) represents a major breakthrough in professional polishing technology. Featuring a 125mm (5") backing plate and a 15mm orbit, the Mark V delivers exceptional control, reduced vibration, and superior finishing capability.
The LHR15V incorporates the advanced Polysynthec™ composite gear system, engineered for reduced noise, lower vibration, improved efficiency, and increased durability. These gears require less lubrication, reduce energy loss, and provide a smoother, quieter polishing experience.
With a 47% reduction in noise compared to previous models and significantly reduced vibration, the LHR15V allows operators to maintain a stable grip, improve precision, reduce fatigue, and achieve consistent professional results.
The new PrecisionPro backing plate features a protective rubber edge and a lowered center of gravity—13mm lower than previous generations—providing unmatched stability and control, especially on curved or intricate surfaces.
This LHR15V/US/STD package includes the BigFoot LHR15 Mark V Polisher and a PrecisionPro 125mm (5") hard-density M8 grip backing plate. Buff pads, compound, and polish sold separately.
Assembled in the USA using premium European components for maximum precision and reliability.
