The Ø15 mm orbit and the RUPES Ø125 mm backing pad make the random orbital polisher particularly suitable for curved surfaces. The 15mm orbit of the LHR 15ES, shorter than that of its big brother the LHR 21ES, is coupled with a higher rpm level than that of the LHR 21ES. This higher speed gives the LHR 15ES equivalent cutting power to the LHR 21ES, in spite of the smaller orbit. Its Ø130/150 mm BigFoot polishing foam pads, perfect balance and vibration-free operation make the LHR 15ES a real gem and a must for the tool kit of every detailer.

RANDOM ORBITAL: the backing plate follows an orbit (the amplitude of which depends on the distance between the rotation axis of the drive shaft and the central axis of the backing plate) and is free to rotate about its own central axis. The backing plate is free to rotate at varying velocities and directions by effect of the centrifugal force of the offset movement and by effect of friction. Should the friction forces be such as to prevent rotation of the disc while the tool is still operating, the random orbital movement would simply become an orbital movement. The number of disc rotations is variable and independent of the number of orbits performed. The random orbital movement is at present the best compromise in terms of effectiveness and surface treatment quality.

ELEGANTLY DESIGNED
The RUPES R&D and Design departments have paid particular attention to the design and ergonomics of the BigFoot polishers. The perfectly balanced machine body, the practical handgrip, the silent operation and minimum vibration are just some of the characteristics that help make BigFoot the market’s most versatile and sought-after system.

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.

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL MODULE
The speed controller on the handle is both practical and easy to use. The speed of the polisher can also be regulated during use, thus avoiding any interruption of the polishing operation.

ON-OFF SWITCH LOCK
Pressing the button on the LEFT-hand side of the handgrip while polishing locks the on-off switch. This allows the operator to move his/her hands freely to different gripping positions while the tool is operating.

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.

I've been around

To date, I've killed a Makita 9227c, two Porter Cable 7424's, and most recently my very much beloved Flex 3401. They have all seen heavy full-time use for years. I was in need of a capable replacement for the 9227 and the 3401. I called up my mate Phil, (Sue's too important to bother) and had a short conversation of where to go. I settled on the LHR15. I don't detail full-time anymore, life, family, and all that entails.

To say that I am pleasantly surprised is an understatement. The tool is well thought out, intuitive, and balanced for my use. It is much smoother than the flex's forced rotation, it glides as easily as the 9227, and it works the product as easily as the 9224. I'll cover the product in another review. If you have any doubt, do not. This is the best machine I've used, and I've played with almost all of them. I never cared for the original rupes, but this V3 version ticks all the boxes.

So much so, that I would not hesitate to use it in place of the three primary tools I listed above. It's that much of a limb saver, and time saver compared to swapping out to a new tool for different areas of a vehicle.

works great so far

I just used the LHR15v3 over the weekend and it runs great -a lot smoother and has less vibration than the LHR15v2.

My only concern is the durability and builds quality...My LHR15v2 died after maybe 30hrs~ of use and over 5yrs...Hopefully, this one will do better.
