The RUPES BigFoot LHR21 Mark III continues the well know legacy of the BigFoot polishing system. The LHR21 Mark III utilizes all the core aspects that made the Mark II machines a go-to tool for the professional and enthusiast. The LHR21 Mark III BigFoot polisher focuses on superior correction ability by combining a massive 21 millimeter throw with its highly efficient 500-watt motor. RUPES channels this correction power into a balanced machine that produces little vibration to reduce fatigue and create an improved user experience.

Packed with new features and upgraded design, the LHR21 Mark III redefines what you can expect from a premium polisher.

New Mark III Features:

IMPROVED ERGONOMICS - The rubberized front grip of the MarkIII 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 platform in MarkIII reinforces its best in class reputation, making the best even better.

TUNED ELECTRONIC SPEED MODULE - 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. The module has also been tuned to deliver peak torque and speed in the optimal dial ranges.

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. The linear delivery of power allows for very fine adjustment within each speed range giving technicians a whole new dimension of control.

LONGER CORDS - The Mark III comes standard with a 9 meter (29.6 ft) cord on both the LHR15 and LHR21 models. The longer cord provides users enough length to move more effortlessly around their workshop or studio without the need for additional extension cords or searching for a nearby outlet.

• Cord Length m-ft - 9 – 29.5

Built to handle any detailing situation, the new LHR 15 MarkIII 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 MarkIII operates at a higher rpm compared to the LHR21 MarkIII. This increased speed provides equivalent correction and does so with a pad diameter and orbit that are more conducive to curved or varied surfaces.

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 MarkIII 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.

The BigFoot system is the perfect solution for the novice user or the professional in search of a flawless finish. BigFoot’s design characteristics make it unique in the world of polishers. The exceptional balance and lack of vibration afford the operator complete control and maximize the maneuverability of the tool during the polishing operation. Normally difficult areas such as edges, contours and corners are easily handled with the operator employing a consistent and harmonious motion. Ensuring maximum comfort of the operator during use was an important aspect taken into account by RUPES technicians right from the first feasibility  studies of the project. The unique design and concentrated approach to ergonomics result in a very stable tool that is light and maneuverable while still delivering all the power necessary to accomplish a world class finish With BigFoot, polishing becomes easy, comfortable and produces excellent results.

The coarse microfiber pads are designed for removing heavy swirl marks, scratches and oxidation from any color paintwork. They are the ideal partner of random orbital polishers. The cutting version features a less dense microfiber and is perfect to use with heavy cutting BigFoot Zephir Gloss Coarse polishing compound. The special microfiber allows for the true correction power of the product used and for maximum product coverage to achieve the highest quality results on ceramic lacquer.

The unique microfiber is engineered to deliver high performance cutting on the hardest paints. The one-piece molded design gives BigFoot Microfiber Pads the strength to work with the large diameter orbital movement designed by RUPES and the patented spiral slots are arranged in particular arcs so they interface with the venting holes on the backing plates they mount to and reduce heat buildup on the polishing surface

The coarse wool polishing pads for random orbital, gear driven, and triple action, are especially designed for severe paint defect removal. The blue foam of the coarse wool pad is more rigid and dense which maximizes the translation of tool movement to the work surface, providing increased cutting power.

All the pads in the coarse wool range are constructed using two distinct fiber lengths creating a dual density wool surface and a specific visible pattern. More than just an aesthetic detail, this configuration provides a great balance of cutting power and finishing ability when compared to traditional or single density wool pads.

BigFoot Zephir Gloss Coarse Compound is recommended on random orbital and triple-action polishers, while RUPES BigFoot Mille Coarse Compound is recommended on gear driven polishers.

The medium wool polishing pads for random orbital, gear driven, and triple action are especially designed for moderate defects removal. The yellow foam of the medium wool pad is much more flexible to allow for improved control on curves and contours, as well as providing a softer support for improved finishing ability.

The yellow medium wool pad range features a consistent 15mm fiber length through the entirety of the pads surface. This soft and flexible wool paired with a soft and flexible yellow foam backing, besides cutting moderate defects, also guarantees excellent finishing ability on most surfaces.

BigFoot Keramik Polishing Compound is recommended on random orbital and triple action polishers, while BigFoot Mille Fine Polish is recommended on gear driven polishers.
