RUPES BigFoot LHR15ES Random Orbital Polisher
The RUPES BigFoot LHR15ES is a professional random orbital polisher built around a 15 mm orbit and a Ø125 mm (5") backing pad, making it particularly suitable for curved surfaces. Its orbit is paired with a higher RPM level (vs. the LHR21ES) to deliver equivalent cutting power despite the smaller orbit.
Key Features & Benefits
- 15 mm orbit + Ø125 mm backing pad: optimized control for curves and complex panels.
- High RPM range: designed to maintain strong correction performance with a 15 mm orbit.
- Vibration-free operation and perfect balance for improved user comfort.
- Compatible pad size: works with Ø130/150 mm BigFoot foam pads.
Random Orbital Movement
The backing plate follows an orbit and is free to rotate around its own axis. If friction prevents rotation, the tool continues operating with an orbital movement. RUPES describes random orbital movement as a strong compromise between effectiveness and surface treatment quality.
Design, Ergonomics & Control
- Ergonomic design: balanced body, practical handgrip, silent operation, and minimum vibration.
- Antispinning shroud: designed to protect the operator and act as a clutch to help prevent stress on the foam pad when it is not in contact with the surface.
- Electronic speed control module: speed controller on the handle; speed can be regulated during use.
- On-off switch lock: allows the operator to lock the switch and change hand positions while operating.

How to Use
- Choose the right backing pad & pad size: this model uses a Ø125 mm (5") backing pad and supports Ø130/150 mm BigFoot pads.
- Set the speed using the electronic speed control (within the listed RPM range) based on the task and surface.
- Work comfortably: use the ergonomic handgrip and, if desired, lock the on-off switch to change grip positions during operation.
- Protect the pad: the antispinning shroud helps prevent unnecessary stress on foam pads when not in direct contact with the surface.
