Hi all. My wife just got me a LHR15 Mark III for my birthday to replace my trusty old PC. I just unboxed the Rupes and notice at the end of the trigger pull there's a clicking noise and you can feel it as you approach the end of the trigger's travel. It doesn't feel good/right to me but maybe it's supposed to be that way? Thanks.
 
Idk but the mark 3 is an awesome machine. She picked the perfect long throw to upgrade with because it doesn't stall on curves.

Put it this way. The G15 (I own one) is unusable in comparison. I really believe that.

I went from hating long throws to dying to spend more big money on a Mark III 21mm machine.

So no answer to the man's question?

Just an "IDK" then a bash on the Griot's machine?

Not a very helpful post, IMO.
 
This is just a guess. Can it be when the progressive trigger is at the end it's clicks in to full throttle? Hope others that have or have used the Mark III or the Mille can shaim in on how their are.

Not nearly as useless as your post. At least I had something to say about the great gift he received. It's a major improvement in the long throw class. I also own a Rupes MarkIII and its a wonderful machine that doesn't stall. I know he'll be happy with it.

Unfortunately I don't any information about the trigger pull issue. At least my information was relevant to the thread unlike your post which was completely worthless. Is this what you do now? Follow me around threads to criticize my posts?

How about you leave me alone and stop stalking me around the forum? Get over it and move on with your life.

I'm not going to report you but if I did I would be well within my rights.

Is it just the locking mechanism that locks the trigger in the own position so you don't have to hold it?
 
Thanks for responding again, that first post left me scratching my head.

I suspect it's related to the trigger lock mechanism, what I'm wondering is whether part of that mechanism is in the trigger's travel when it shouldn't be? If it's normal that's fine like maybe a detent before full speed but I want to know that from other owners? But if the trigger/speed is variable through its full range you can't squeeze it without passing this "click".

Sorry - I just shipped all the Mark III polishers I have in the garage to Texas for a Roadshow Class.

When I get to Texas this coming Friday to unpack and setup the class I’ll pull the trigger on a Mark III and tell yo what I hear.

:)
 
Just used mine today and checked it. My trigger is smooth all the way through. I have no resistance or clicking on mine. I would contact the place she got it from or Rupes. It shouldn’t be a problem sending it back for repair or getting it replaced.

Stalking you? :laughing::laughing::laughing:

Ok, angry little guy. I'll "get over it and move on with my life". SMH

I'll probably put it on graigslist its in brand new condition. I barely even used it. I felt bad buying another one until I got the new machine and found out it was justified.

So do you own a Mark III? Do you know for a fact that it does not stall on curves?
 
Ok...you in this corner and you in that corner, this could turn into a Beadmaker thread, or a mf towel thread, or a.....

Yeah, no corners.

Just a reminder for a member that needs to be a little more polite and thoughtful with his posts.

Which, by the way, I have high hopes for.

This is the post I've been waiting for. Thank you. Hopefully this will be a smooth and fast exchange transaction with Autogeek as I've been anxious to use the tool but decided not to in case this wasn't normal.

For something you adjust/modulate frequently it didn't seem right that Rupes would have the user keep crossing over a click or detent in travel of the trigger.

Glad to help. Autogeek is pretty good. So you should have no problems swapping it out. You will love it once you get it straightened out and actually get to use it. They really are good machines. Just contact them as soon as you can about the issue and I think you’ll be fine.
 
Turns out my wife got it from Amazon who fulfilled the order via detailerdomain. She has made initial contact for the return/exchange. Hopefully they don't give us grief.

I just got a big Autogeek box with my Rupes pads and Polish Angel ceramic coating. It's hard to resist trying it out.

If you have any trouble through amazon try going directly through Rupes. But I don’t think you will have a problem getting it sorted. I say it is. It shouldn’t take too long to everything straightened out.
