SEMA Release of Rupes

[WRAPT C5Z06]

Anyone know the amps/watts of these new machines? Are they less, more, or as powerful than the 15/21??

400-450 watts, IIRC.

[WRAPT C5Z06]

Any release date yet?

[Rockeey]

Just read this on another site:

"RUPES is only releasing the LHR12E [Duetto] in complete kit form...not individual tool sales."

Cost was right around $500.

Interesting. Can't find any power specs - maybe I'm just missing it. The Mini still weighs instead over 5 lbs:



According to Amazon, the Griot's 3" weighs 1lb. Is that correct???

Guess the GG6 will still be a best buy.

Interesting. Can't find any power specs - maybe I'm just missing it.

As others have noted, about 400 watts is the AC power consumption. All that tells you is that you can safely run it on a 15 amp circuit simultaneously with another tool consuming about 9 amps.

That number doesn't have a direct relationship with the correcting power at the pad, especially with a free-rotating type of DA where the pad rotation can be stopped to zero rotations while the machine's motor is consuming the full rated power from the AC line, in driving the oscillating portion (where the OPM is applicable) of the dual action.

Yeah I saw the kits out there as well. Was hoping that was just something that that site was pushing. That'll probably kill a decent percentage of sales. Although as I was speculating in another thread Rupes may be pushing the integrated tool, pad, liquid (compound/polish) solution. That is unfortunate as I'd say by and large most guys would rather use the pads and products they have on hand.

I had intended on purchasing both new machines, but I'm out if they are only offering them as part of a 'kit'. Hopefully this isn't the case, but if it is, it's a bad business decision in my book.
