Re: Rupes Knock Off
I belive the quote for 50 or more would have broken down to like 175 for the knock off of the 21mm. Who knows, but for that price for a single unit I wouldn't mind grabbing one

Re: Rupes Knock Off
I have one of the Ansi Auto Rupes knockoffs. And I have indeed attached a Rupes 5" backing plate to it and use Rupes pads. Everything works fine after a little bit of tweaking. Its not exactly easy to do as I did have to open up the rupes backing plate mounting hole on the back a few hundreths of an inch on the arched portions to allow the machines spindle to drop in. I also had to use the washer mod (which Kevin Brown recommends for the Rupes polishers anyways) in order to clear the phillip head screws attaching the counterweight.
I have this YouTube video with details of the machine when I got it and a demonstration of the speeds. I've only used it on mine and family vehicles but it works great. Very little vibration at all when compared to a porter cable or harbor freight dual action polisher. Polishing and correcting with this is way faster than using the porter cable and HF dual actions by a mile.

Also, you can see these same machines on racks in some of chemical guys videos. I thought CG were going to sell them after seeing someone in their smart detailing university using one and seeing them in their videos on racks.
