Description

RUPES BigFoot LHR12E Duetto Random Orbital Polisher (Ø125 mm / 12 mm orbit)

The RUPES BigFoot LHR12E Duetto is an all-in-one sanding and polishing system for painted surfaces. RUPES states it is equally effective when paired with soft or interface backing pads and micro-abrasives for defect correction, or with foam polishing pads and compounds during the polishing stage.

Why the 12 mm Orbit Matters

RUPES explains that extensive research and testing led to the choice of a 12 mm orbit for the Duetto. This orbit length is designed to improve surface rectification with the latest generation of microabrasive discs, making the system especially effective when smoothing orange peel or significant defects.

Key Benefits & Features

  • Homogeneous, predictable finish with no deep sanding marks when used with microabrasives (as described by RUPES).
  • Microabrasive defect correction can create a surface that is easily polished, reducing overall correction time.
  • Low vibration balance, designed so the operator can control the sanding step by simply guiding the tool.
  • Anti-spinning device helps reduce the chances of operator error (even for novice technicians).
  • Front hand grip places the hand near the virtual balance center to help keep vibration to a minimum.
  • Built-in torque control helps reduce the need for heavy downward pressure.
  • Rubber support allows placing the tool on a workbench without the abrasive disc touching a potentially contaminated surface.
  • Compatible with microabrasive discs and the appropriate 5" interface pad.

How to Use (Sanding + Polishing Workflow)

  1. Defect correction (sanding step): pair Duetto with microabrasive discs and the appropriate 5" interface pad for smoothing orange peel or significant defects.
  2. Polishing step: switch to foam polishing pads and the appropriate compounds to refine and finish the surface.
  3. Use the built-in features (anti-spinning device, front grip, torque control) to maintain stable control and consistent results across the panel.
