New RUPES Tools + New Pads + New Product!

[Todd@RUPES]

WOW! Am I reading this right.....the RPM range on the new Rupes Rotary is 450-1700rpms?????? I've been dreaming of a rotary polisher to replace my Dewalt 849x that in a perfect world would be geared towards detailers and it sounds like my dreams are finally coming true. Not once have I used a rotary over 1500rpms and I hate that the dewalt 849x becomes excessively on lower speeds.

My question is, can the rupes rotary be effectively used at low rpms and not get hot? I swear to god I'm about to poop i'm so excited.

Yes. RUPES first innovated the double-gear reduction rotary with the LHR18. The benefits of this style is that you can double the torque (2 to 1 reduction like a transmission) and double the motor speed (better cooling). The new LHR19 is also a gear reduction rotary, and utilizes a RUPES-designed 1200 watt motor. This allows it to operate at low RPM with very little heat build up.

At the lowest speed setting, with little pressure on the progressive trigger, the tool can effectively operate as low as (around) 100 RPM.

When will the Mille be for sale?

I haven't heard anything yet, but you can bet that Autogeek will be among the first to know!

If I don't end up using them is summer they are yours. I have 4 I never used and one that I destroyed on a test hood.

Sweet!

I'm not Jason, but I'll do my best to answer your questions.

Thanks Todd, I was really just throwing some thoughts out there, I'm no Jason Rose or Todd Helme, and I'm not experienced nor discriminating enough to be able discern those differences in pad/polish/machine, but you guys obviously can, so thanks for the explanation. :)

They got the idea from Chemical Guy's.

Chemical guys? Oh you mean the leather quick Detailer? Or the car wrap quick Detailer? Or do you mean the platidip quick Detailer? Tint quick Detailer?

Don't get the grey tint quick Detailer confused with the brown tint quick Detailer or the results won't be as good.

I can't wait to get that rotary polisher! Does anyone have a price on it yet?

I was already sold on this but now I want it even more

Honestly right now I'm most interested in that breakfast. I'm starving!

looks like he ordered the quadruple bypass

I didn't even notice that, I guess I spent too much time looking at the pizza. I guess Jason Rose has been working on those polishes...I'm not sure if I think machine-specific polishes are a good thing or a bad thing...on the one hand I have too many polishes already, on the other hand I understand trying to optimize the product for the machine...although I'd need to hear Jason explain it before I sign on to the reasoning.

Does anybody here actually use different polishes if they switch from a rotary to a 3401 to a DA? I mean besides the obvious that you might be compounding with a rotary and doing other steps with the other machines that would use different products because they are different steps. But I mean let's say you are doing the same step on different parts of the same vehicle, say using a 3401 for the large panels and a PC with a small pad for tighter areas...are you going to use a different chemical because one is forced and one free?

i tried the keramik gloss with a 3401 and it was leaving a lot of marring but that might of been because of my non ceramic paint or something else

I might have a barely used PE-14 for sale when this rotary comes out. Sounds really good! As does the Mille.

To make an analogy, I would say Rupes is Apple, Flex is Windows.
Advantages and disadvantages on both sides.
In the Rupes environment, more control and guaranteed results in beforehand. Costlier, though.
In the Flex environment, more freedom of choices, but you have to develop your own system.
Both are tempting, with an edge to the Rupes system, imho.

Has a release date & estimated pricing for the rotary & gear driven machines been announced? Gotta start saving the pennies now. Probably gonna need a lot of them.

[SRConcepts]

Scuttlebutt points towards them being released at SEMA, although nobody can be 100%... except for RUPES, of course.

I was told by the marketing manager of Rupes that production has begun on the Mille. Will be available in a month or two.

I bet it'll be $375 or something in that range. Heavy initial investment.
