Rupes LHR15 MARK III Bigfoot Polisher - Random Orbital Polisher

Built to handle any detailing situation, the new LHR 15 Mark III automotive machine polisher is the new frontier of detailing. The ergonomic design allows for precise paint correction with complete comfort, in curved surfaces and difficult to reach areas. The LHR 15 Mark III operates at a higher rpm compared to the LHR21 Mark III. This increased speed provides equivalent correction and does so with a pad diameter and orbit that are more conducive to curved or varied surfaces.

IMPROVED ERGONOMICS

The rubberized front grip of the Mark III offers exceptional comfort for the operator while providing a non-slip surface for control. The improved rear handle also integrates rubberized surfaces for improved feel.

Two strategically placed, non-marking, tool rests provide stability when the tool is not in use as well as additional protection against unintended impact.

The continued refinement of the BigFoot random orbital automotive machine polisher platform in Mark III reinforce its best in class reputation, making the best even better.

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL DIAL
The new electronic speed control dial allows for easy adjustment of the top speed of the polisher without requiring the operator to move his hands.

The larger dial is easily adjusted with a move of the thumb.

High visibility numbers and a more positive feedback from the movement of the dial make speed changes feel more deliberate, allowing operators to select the ideal speed for the task without any interruption to the polishing process.

PROGRESSIVE TRIGGER
Adding an additional layer of control is the new progressive trigger.

Acting as a throttle to control speeds within the dial range, the progressive trigger allows the operator to make subtle adjustments for precise control without interruption of the process or need to reposition the grip to access the speed dial.

DESIGN

Attention to detail is something more than just attractive design. Every detail, such as the rubber support positioned on the body of the machine to keep it stable during the non-working stages, is the result of meticulous research aimed at achieving maximum operator comfort.

THE MOST EFFICIENT MOTOR IN IT’S CLASS
The highly efficient motor of the Mark III BigFoot Random Orbital Polisher produces a speed range of 3000 to 4500 for the 21mm models and 3000 to 5200 for the 15mm models. The specially engineered and custom wound motor, created in-house by RUPES, generates high levels of torque while requiring just 500 watts of input. This results in RUPES offering the most efficient motor in random orbital polishing today.

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.

Great Machine

Recently upgraded from some older Griots machines and the Rupes is a dream. Much better ergonomics, polishing power and tons more control. Very happy to be in the Rupes family!
