    Rupes 21 -vs- Rupes 21 Mark II

    Don't confuse wattage for a measure of performance... wattage on power tools is simply a rating to quantify the capacity for consumption. It does not directly correlate to output or result on the working surface. A well engineered tool will have the capability to produce results with less watts...

    Non Modded Free Spin?

    I'm working on getting you an equivalent answer. At the factory level they use something that for the life of me I can't find here in the US, so as soon as I have the specs I'll point you at an equivalent option you can source locally. :xyxthumbs:

    Non Modded Free Spin?

    Let us know if you need to replace that shroud - don't want rubber bits contaminating your work area. FWIW - from the factory the contact side (top) of the backing plate is lubricated, I generally add a tiny bit more each time I clean the tool. Pull the plate, run a light bead of lubrication...

    Interesting new video from Rupes...

    We do make a rotary... along with TONS of other tools. The US market has really only seen a very small percentage of the entire line. Heres a few of the rotary options that exist for other markets: Rupes Rotary Depending on demand, maybe someday we introduce them into the US market, but for...

    Interesting new video from Rupes...

    I've seen it and I've been working on some of the associated marketing materials. I might be more excited about this than I am about the Mark II ... See you guys at SEMA!

    New Rupes Polisher AMMONYC

    This is why get a little chuckle at the "Oh... this is a response to....." comments. When I came onboard in August this initiative was already well on its way. Engineering had been working on this for a long time, much longer than anyone will probably ever know. Pioneering the market as RUPES...

    Cyclo find for 5 bucks!

    So cool. Really shows the longevity of the tool. We occasionally get ones of similar vintage in that still run strong. Brush replacement, cleanup, oil and they go for another couple decades!

    FWIW - the C7 Stingray powerplant is the LT1, the LS1 died with the C5, replaced by the LS2, then the LS3 which spawned the LS7 and LS9. Im the MAN

    Beautiful transformation guys... that paint looks stunning after a nice polish at the hands of some skilled dudes with a high quality system :) As far as the Cyclo logo... RUPES acquired Cyclo back at the beginning of the year. The RUPES USA team (including myself and Jason) work out of the...

    Touring the Guinness Brewery: St James Gate Dublin Ireland

    Alright, I'm jealous. A self proclaimed beer-nut I tour craft breweries here in CO any chance I get (no shortage of new ones opening almost daily)... but this exact tour is very much on my bucket list. Cheers to you for a great post.

    Help troubleshooting LHR15es

    Sorry you're both having issues with your polishers. greatwhitenorth - sounds like you've checked the key components that I'd recommend first for the issue. The electronics module does have a 'boot up' period (for lack of a better term) when its first plugged in, and some people have seen...

    Rupes BigFoot Microfiber Backing Plate

    No. The weight differential and its impact on vibration at that size is minimal (undetectable) thus no need for a different plate. Echoing what Todd said, there is very little use for the dedicated MF backing plates unless you intend to run MF almost full time (which I can't imagine many...

    Hello from RUPES USA, Inc.

    Just wanted to take a moment to formally introduce myself to those that may not know me and re-introduce myself to those that do. My name is Dylan von Kleist and most would recognize me from my time with Adam's Polishes as the dude with the beard in their videos. I've interacted a ton with...
